On 16 January 2024, a kick-off meeting was held for the project “Reform of civil status registries in Croatia using advanced technological solutions as a precondition for a modern and agile public service”.
The objective of the project is to raise the level of data quality in civil status registries (registry of births, registry of marriages, registry of deaths, citizenship registry and life partnership registry), in the sense of converting descriptive data into structured data and interlinking them, as well as raising the quality of service provision to citizens and entrepreneurs as well as public law bodies by using an information system in which the civil status data, currently divided into five different registries, are integrated in a single registry based on the once-only principle. The project is financed under the Technical Support Instrument (TSI) of the European Union, Directorate-General for Structural Reform Support (DG Reform).
The meeting was attended by representatives of the Ministry of Justice and Public Administration as the main beneficiary of the project, other institutions participating in the project within their scope, representatives of DG Reform, representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers and Law Firm Darko Marjanović, with experts from Croatia, Serbia, Slovakia, Poland and the Netherlands in their capacity as the Contracting Party. During the meeting, the work methodology, project activities, main deliverables and 18-month project baseline were presented.
