Croatia, which many people fondly like to call the country with a thousand islands, is adorned by the heavenly blue sea and one of the most beautiful coasts in the world. If they started counting all the islands and islets, they would stop at the number 1244.

The subsidization of housing loans by the Republic of Croatia is the inclusion of a measure to help Croatian citizens. APN, i.e. the Agency for Transport and Real Estate Brokerage, has become involved in subsidizing housing loans in order to encourage the demographic renewal of society and reduce the emigration of young people. Citizens take housing loans for the purpose of buying a house or apartment, i.e. solving housing issues.

We also recommend this method if the builder of the building is in the VAT system (in the case when you were entitled to a VAT refund included in the price of the property).
