European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CPT) is one of the most important and most active European body that has been regularly visiting the Republic of Croatia for nearly fifteen years. The CPT delegations to Croatia face the full cooperation at all levels: from senior officials of various ministries to direct contacts at police stations, prisons, psychiatric hospitals and homes for the elderly.
