Zagreb: British Restrictions on Croatian Workers Must Be Lifted Before Brexit

Croatian citizens are the only ones in the EU without automatic rights to live and work in the UK, and Zagreb wants to ensure EU parity before Brexit happens. Politico reports on July 25, 2017. 

“Senior Croatian officials, including Prime Minister Andrej Plenković, have asked the EU’s top Brexit negotiator to ensure that Croats can live and work in Britain starting next July and thereby benefit from any deal on the rights of EU citizens in the U.K. once it leaves the bloc in 2019.

“Unlike citizens from the other 26 remaining EU states, Croats do not have an automatic right to live and work in the U.K. because of temporary restrictions imposed after the Central European state joined the EU in 2013. The restrictions, which currently run until June 30, 2018, can be extended by London for another two years. If that happens, as expected, then Croats would not be able to benefit potentially from Prime Minister Theresa May’s offer of “settled status” in the U.K. after Brexit.”
