However, the war is not over.

ZAGREB, March 15, 2018 - Activists of the civic initiative "Truth About the Istanbul Convention" said at a news conference on Thursday that they were launching a campaign for a referendum at which Croatians would say if they want the national parliament to refuse to ratify the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence, the so-called Istanbul Convention.

The plan is a precondition for Croatia to continue receiving money from EU funds.

The “progressive” proposal is supported by 168,000 signatures.

Proposal of the new Family Law has stirred fierce debate.

Croatia signed the Istanbul Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence in 2013 but has still not ratified it.
