Article 9 of the Constitution of the Republic of Croatia prohibits the extradition of Croatian citizens.

Consequently, the Republic of Croatia will not allow any extradition or transit (Article 21, paragraph 2, of the Convention) of its own citizens.

The “nationality” of a person being requested for extradition will be considered in terms of the time when the criminal act was committed and in compliance with the regulations of the Republic of Croatia regarding citizenship (Article 6, paragraph 1(b), of the Convention).

The Republic of Croatia will approve the transit of a person only under the conditions applying to extradition (Article 21, paragraph 5, of the Convention).
