Key Developments
Croatia has reported fulfilling its Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) Article 4 obligations, completing clearance of remaining cluster munition remnants (CMR) on 10 July 2020, several weeks ahead of its 1 August deadline. Croatia submitted its Declaration of Compliance on 1 August 2020. Completion by its original 10-year deadline was the result of strong national ownership and political will, national funding, and effective planning. While Croatia has cleared all known CMR-contaminated areas, remnants may be discovered post completion (residual contamination). Addressing residual CMR will be the responsibility of the Ministry of the Interior – Police Directorate explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) teams and the Civil Protection Directorate – CROMAC.
