The government at its session on Wednesday adopted a regulation under which workers from EU member states which imposed transitional restrictions on the employment of Croatian workers after Croatia joins the European Union on July 1, would face equal restrictions in Croatia.

According to data available to the government, labour restrictions have so far been imposed by Slovenia, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Austria, Germany, Spain and Belgium.
