ZAGREB, 14 Sept, 2021 - Prime Minister Andrej Plenković on Tuesday called on all citizens to register online for the population census which began yesterday and will be conducted in two phases.
In the first phase, lasting until 26 September, citizens can take part in the census online, which the prime minister did, registering his family "simply and quickly," he wrote on Twitter.
"Let's use the possibility to register online. Let's do our civic duty and let's all take part in the 2021 Census," he tweeted.
By 3 pm today, over 177,000 citizens have taken part in the census online, the Croatian Bureau of Statistics said, the largest number in the City of Zagreb (58,214) and the lowest in Lika-Senj County (1,118).
The second phase begins on 27 September and lasts until 17 October, when census-takers will be visiting all households that have not registered online.
