Croatia
EU roadmap Standard-takerCroatia's published activity is led by the national CERT (CERT.hr), which ran a webinar on the quantum threat and how organisations can prepare a defence, explicitly covering post-quantum cryptography. No national migration timeline, algorithm guidance or standards camp has been set out in the available material.

Regulatory basis
- NIS2 Directive (EU) 2022/2555, Art. 21(2)(h)
- DORA, Regulation (EU) 2022/2554 (financial sector)
- Commission Recommendation (EU) 2024/1101 on a coordinated PQC roadmap
- NIS Cooperation Group Coordinated Implementation Roadmap (2026/2030/2035)
Legal status: Binding
Essential and important entities must use state-of-the-art cryptography under NIS2, transposed into national law, and financial entities face equivalent duties under DORA; neither yet names post-quantum algorithms specifically. Migration follows the EU coordinated roadmap, with high-risk use cases targeted for 2030 and full migration by 2035, which is encouraged rather than mandated.
Standards and algorithms
No standards or algorithms specified.
Hybrid stance
None stated
Migration timeline
- 2030High-risk use cases migrated
- 2035Full migration of all systems complete
Target completion: 2035
International standards processes
- NIS Cooperation Group co-authored the EU coordinated PQC roadmap
Governmental and standards bodies
- CERT.hr Croatia's national CERT, ran an awareness webinar on the quantum threat and post-quantum cryptography
