Regulatory Framework for SMS in Croatia
The telecommunications and data protection landscape in Croatia is regulated by HAKOM / AZOP. Compliance with local A2P SMS regulations is not optional — non-compliant traffic is actively filtered at the carrier level and can result in route blocks, financial penalties, and reputational damage.
Croatia enforces GDPR through AZOP. As an EU member since 2013 and Eurozone member since 2023, Croatia aligns with all EU digital regulations.
SBS Telecom’s Compliance & Regulatory Affairs team continuously monitors regulatory changes in Croatia and all markets we serve. Our clients benefit from proactive compliance guidance at no additional charge.
