Article 18 (a)(i) - the authorities which are competent to order protection measures and issue certificates in accordance with Article 5

Explanation:
The civil justice system of the Republic of Croatia does not provide for the possibility of ordering protection measures that fall under the scope and definition of protection measures set out in the Regulation No 606/2013 (Art 2 and Art 3 point 1). Therefore, within the framework of civil law there are no authorities competent for ordering protection measures in civil matters and issuing of certificates. We consider this is in line with recital no 12 of the Regulation No 606/2013.
