With Croatia having achieved North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) membership in 2009 and joining the European Union (EU) in July 2013, the U.S. Embassy in Zagreb, Croatia, is increasingly focused on expanding trade and investment ties between the United States and Croatia. Our goal is for our excellent bilateral relations to be matched by equally robust bilateral trade and investment. We see increased potential in this area as a result of Croatia’s EU membership and as economic and business climate reforms are implemented.
The U.S. Embassy stands ready to assist U.S. companies exporting to Croatia and Croatian companies sourcing goods and services from the United States. We also support Croatian companies or individuals interested in investing in the United States, and assist existing and potential American investors in Croatia.
The Embassy’s U.S. Commercial Service office provides companies with information on the local business environment and market opportunities, assists with introductions to potential local partners, and facilitates interaction with Croatian government institutions when necessary. The U.S. Commercial Service also provides standardized matchmaking and promotional services that are tailored to individual client needs. These services are provided on a cost-recovery fee basis, and we measure the Embassy’s performance by the number and quality of success stories reported by the companies we assist.

Overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC)
In 1985, the Overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC), a joint venture between the Department of State and the U.S. private sector, created by then Secretary of State George P. Shultz under the Federal Advisory Committee Act to interact on overseas security problems of mutual concern. Objectives of this joint venture are: to establish a continuing liaison between security officials in both the private and public sector; to provide for regular exchanges of information concerning developments in the overseas security environment; recommend methods for planning and implementation of security programs abroad; and recommend methods to mitigate risks to American private sector interests worldwide. These objectives remain in the current OSAC Charter.
