The Government of the Republic of Croatia (Vlada Republike Hrvatske), commonly abbreviated to Croatian Government (hrvatska Vlada), is the main element of the executive branch of government in Croatia.
It is led by the President of the Government (Predsjednik Vlade), commonly abbreviated to premier (premijer). Prime Minister is nominated by the President of the Republic among those who enjoy the support of majority of the Croatian Parliament, and chosen by the Parliament. Ministers are nominated by the Prime Minister and chosen by the Parliament.
Croatia is ranked 37th out of 41 countries in the European region, and its overall score is below the regional average.
Croatia is recovering from a decade-long civil war.
Croatia's hopes of beginning accession talks with the European Union have risen since the arraignment of Ante Gotovina, a Croatian general accused of war crimes, before the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia.
Croatia is a country of transit, and increasingly a source and destination, for women and girls trafficked for the purpose of sexual exploitation.
Croatia’s laws criminalize all forms of trafficking; during the reporting period, the government drafted legislation that would allow for prosecution of clients who knowingly use the services of trafficking victims.
In 2005, the government continued to provide all identified victims with shelter, and legal, medical, and psychological services as well as educational and vocational training; government assistance was not conditioned on victim cooperation in a trafficking case.
