Croatia veteran and police pension reforms

Overview

The Croatian government has proposed legislative amendments to increase pensions and modify retirement conditions for military personnel, police officers, and other authorized officials.

The proposed reforms aim to abolish pension reductions of 8–20% that were implemented in 2002. New measures include a supplement based on service in combat or non-combat sectors, with specific monthly additions for each month served. The government intends to raise the lowest veteran pensions and increase caregiver allowances.

Implementation is expected to affect a significant number of beneficiaries, with some estimates suggesting over 200,000 people may see higher pensions. The government anticipates allocating approximately €100 million from the state budget over the next three years to fund these changes, with €88.5 million earmarked for 2027. Officials stated the adjustments are intended to recognize the social importance of these roles and strengthen human resources within the military, police, and judicial systems.
