Local initiatives in Croatia have focused on increasing youth involvement in municipal decision-making processes. In Karlovac and Vinkovci, leaders met with Children’s City Councils to discuss community improvements, such as school maintenance and children’s rights. 

Following these engagements, the municipalities of Baška and Pirovac issued calls for candidates to join their Youth Councils. In Pirovac, the council acts as an advisory body for residents aged 15 to 30, intended to advocate for the interests of young people at the local level.
