Welcome message
Welcome to the website of the Embassy of the Republic of Croatia in Pretoria, South Africa!
One of the key duties of the Embassy of the Republic of Croatia in Pretoria, South Africa, is to provide assistance to Croatian citizens who live and work in South Africa or in one of the African countries to which the Embassy is also accredited to: Botswana, Kenya, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia and Zambia. It is equally important to give the information to the citizens and residents of South Africa and other mentioned countries who are interested in our beautiful country as tourists, business people, or for any other reason. I believe that our website will help the interested citizens to be better informed. That will contribute to further the co-operation between Croatia and South Africa, as well as the Croatian co-operation with the other countries the Embassy covers. |
