The Croatian government has adopted an open source software policy and issued guidelines for developing and using open source software in the government institutions.
The document includes the following guidelines:
- Government institutions will choose and/or develop open source solutions as much as possible, instead of using closed source alternatives.
- The government will support development of closed source solutions that use open standards for protocols and file formats, and which are developed in Croatia.
- The government will support the use of open source programs and open standards outside of its institutions.
- The government will support the use of open source solutions in educational institutions; both closed and open source solutions will be equally presented to students.
