Disputes have emerged regarding the nature of diplomatic and consular relations between Croatia and Pakistan. Initially, the Croatian Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs (MVEP) denied reports of visa liberalization for Pakistani citizens, clarifying that plans were limited to opening a visa center in Islamabad to allow for local application processing rather than requiring travel to Tehran.

Following this, political tensions escalated in the Croatian Parliament. Foreign Minister Gordan Grlić Radman denied allegations of a migration agreement signed during a visit to Pakistan. While opposition members claimed the visit facilitated the entry of Pakistani workers, the Minister stated the trip was intended to support Croatian economic interests and open markets for domestic companies. The dispute led to a confrontation in the Sabor, resulting in the removal of an opposition member from the session.
