Croatia
Croatia engages in illegal push back of asylum seekers and migrants who attempt to enter from Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Asylum seekers and refugees report violent beatings by Croatian police and are prevented from accessing asylum procedures. Many adults with disabilities are placed in foster care instead of given support that would allow them to live independently in the community. Ethnic minorities, notably Roma and Serbs, regularly experience discrimination. The Croatian judiciary has made slow progress towards accountability for war crimes.

Refugees and MigrantsThe shocking images of migrants and asylum-seekers abused by Croatian authorities are part of the persistent and well-documented trend of human rights violations taking place at European borders. They are also a reflection of the widespread impunity of European Union (EU) Member States’ border authorities and demonstrate the urgent need to address this in a systematic manner.
