Opinion on the Compatibility of Amendments to the Croatia Law on Associations and the Law on Foundations with European Standards
The Expert Council on NGO Law has prepared an Opinion on the Compatibility of Amendments to the Croatia Law on Associations and the Law on Foundations with European Standards; those were enacted by Parliament in December 2022.
As detailed in the Opinion, the Amendments underscore the ongoing challenges in the implementation of MONEYVAL and FATF recommendations impacting on NGOs by Member States.
The Council of Europe’s work benefits extensively from contacts and co-operation with the dynamic elements of society, as represented by NGOs. One of the main challenges currently facing the Organisation is to strengthen NGOs and civil society and to develop participatory democracy on a pan-European basis.
