Strip Clubs & Erotic Nightclubs in Primorje-Gorski Kotar

Croatia penalises the person who sells sex rather than the buyer. Under the 1977 Act on Misdemeanours against Public Order and Peace, engaging in prostitution is punishable by a fine of EUR 20–100 or up to 30 days' imprisonment, and allowing premises to be used for prostitution or otherwise enabling it by EUR 300–2,000 or up to 30 days. Article 157 of the Criminal Code covers recruiting, organising or enabling prostitution for gain, buying sex from a person known to be coerced, and advertising another person's prostitution through public media. A 2015 amendment limited the advertising offence to the prostitution "of another person". In June 2024 the interior minister said a working group was drafting a new public order law; no draft had been published by October 2026 as far as could be checked.
