Intervjuirali smo našeg klijenta, Simona Marchinu Gonzaleza, koji je nedavno stekao hrvatsko državljanstvo kao potomak hrvatskog iseljenika, temeljem članka 11. Zakona o hrvatskom državljanstvu.

Plava karta EU-a je dozvola za boravak i rad koja se u Republici Hrvatskoj izdaje za visokokvalificirano zapošljavanje kao biometrijska dozvola boravka u koju se u rubriku vrsta dozvole unosi »plava karta EU-a« (dalje u tekstu: EU plava karta) koja nositelja ovlašćuje na ulazak, ponovni ulazak, boravak i rad u Republici Hrvatskoj, kao i prava, pod uvjetima iz Zakona o strancima (Narodne novine br. 133/2020, 114/2022, 151/2022, 40/2025) (dalje u tekstu: Zakon). EU plava karta posljednjih godina postaje jedan od najvažnijih instrumenata za privlačenje visokoobrazovanih stručnjaka iz trećih zemalja na europsko tržište rada. Riječ je o obliku boravišne i radne dozvole namijenjene osobama s visokom stručnom kvalifikacijom koje dolaze raditi u zanimanjima za koja u državama članicama EU postoji manjak radne snage, kao što je slučaj i u Hrvatskoj.

If you are considering buying property in Croatia, you will quickly come across two key public records: the Land Registry (in Croatian: zemljišne knjige) and the Cadastre (in Croatian: katastar). While they both contain information about real estate and are related to some extent, they serve different purposes, are managed by different authorities, and—due to historical reasons—are not always in sync. Understanding this distinction is essential for anyone buying property in Croatia.

Introduction to the topic Under Article 6 of the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689*), an AI system is classified as high-risk if it either (1) forms part of a product regulated by EU harmonised legislation—such as medical devices, vehicles, or industrial machinery—or (2) performs a function listed in Annex III, including use in areas like education, law enforcement, employment, and biometric identification. The Act also mandates that any AI system used for profiling natural persons—automated evaluation or prediction of individuals' traits, preferences, or behaviour—is automatically classified as high-risk. Even when a provider believes a system does not pose serious risks, its profiling function alone triggers this classification. Providers of such systems must either conduct a formal risk assessment to justify otherwise and still register the system in the EU database, or they must comply with the full framework of regulatory obligations, including documentation, transparency, testing, and human oversight. This high-risk classification ensures that AI systems which can significantly impact people’s lives, safety, or rights are subject to stricter scrutiny and accountability—ultimately promoting trust and lawful innovation across the EU.

One of the most significant innovations introduced by Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 June 2024—commonly referred to as the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act)—is its risk-based regulatory approach.

Introduction: a series of 13 articles on the EU AI Act We bring you a series of 13 articles on the EU AI Act and its application in law, including an analysis of the Act through 13 different topics covering various chapters of the regulation – with one article published each day. Perhaps 13 really is a lucky number – at least for those eager to learn!

In our previous two articles, we explored the categories of prohibited AI systems and high-risk AI systems as defined by the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, hereinafter: the Act*). While much of the public and legal discourse has focused on these areas, an important and widely applicable category—limited-risk AI systems—deserves closer examination. These systems, which comprise the majority of AI applications in daily commercial and public life, are not banned or heavily regulated. Instead, the Act introduces a light-touch framework of transparency obligations aimed at fostering accountability, user awareness, and trust without stifling innovation.
