Abstract

This paper provides a comparison of the EU acquis with Croatian legislation and practice prior to EU accession, focusing on the area of private international family law. The authors contribute to a framework of cross-border family issues which are regulated by EU rules, entailing divorce, parental responsibility and maintenance issues. In addition to legal norms prior to EU full membership, the authors present an analysis of Croatian court rulings. Conclusions of this research point to possible obstacles and problems in the future application of EU rules to Croatian practice. The authors particularly deal with the following: new criteria of international jurisdiction, ensuring the maximum protection of minors, and safeguarding the best interest of a child.
