The official website for the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs (MVEP) of the Republic of Croatia serves as the central governmental body responsible for formulating and executing Croatia’s foreign policy and managing its international relations. As the public administration sector dedicated to Foreign Policy and Diplomacy, the MVEP’s core function is to represent the Republic of Croatia in the international arena, advance its national interests, and promote its position within the European Union and globally.
The Ministry’s extensive services and areas of activity include managing bilateral relations with other countries, directing economic diplomacy efforts to support Croatian trade and investment abroad, and handling complex multilateral and global affairs through international organizations like the UN and NATO. For citizens, MVEP provides essential consular services, including visa issuance, travel information, and support through its network of embassies and consulates around the world. The Ministry is structured into numerous directorates focusing on specific regions (e.g., Southeast Europe), policy areas (e.g., European and International Law), and internal affairs (e.g., Information Security, Diplomatic Protocol).
