15.3. Coherence - cross domain | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The difference between International Migration Statistics and Residence Permits Statistics The difference between IM and RP flow statistics is due to IM statistics includes: — Renewals with cumulative duration of validity (‘first’ and ‘renewed’ permit) for more than 12 months (for the first permits issued in the previous year or in the reference year). — Data for foreigners who have been granted permanent stay in the reference year (a small number of cases) and whose temporary stay permit was issued before 2011 but they haven't been covered by 2011 Census (comparison with migration statistics and census data from 2011 onwards). The difference between IM and RP stock statistics makes the following: — Annual population estimates are calculated using the census figure as the starting point, updating with information on vital events (births and deaths) and migrations (both internal and international). Annual population estimate by country of citizenship does not take in consideration acquisition of citizenship statistics. The Republic of Croatia recognizes dual citizenship. — Unreported departures. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15.4. Coherence - internal | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
All data are consistent. The population is based on data from the last census adjusted by the components of population change. The difference between the size of the population at the beginning and the end of a period is equal to the algebraic sum of natural change and net migration. |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18.2. Frequency of data collection | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Data on births and deaths are collected monthly. Data on migration are collected annually. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18.3. Data collection | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Data on live births are collected through the Statistical Report on Births for each recording in the state registers of births. Data on deaths are collected through the Statistical Report on Deaths for each recording in the state registers of deaths. Data on migration are delivered in the electronic form by the Ministry of the Interior. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18.4. Data validation | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Data on live births and deaths covers all persons who were born or deceased in a particular calendar year and who were entered into registers of births or deaths. These data are collected on the electronic forms. Reporting units are required to provide accurate, complete and updated data and in the content and form which is determined by the Croatian Bureau of Statistics and within the timeliness determined by the Annual Implementing Plan. If the data stated by the reporting units are not accurate, complete and updated, the reporting units will be bound to correct them, and/or make additions, in conformity with instructions and within set deadlines. Migration statistics are carried out based on data collected by the Ministry of the Interior. Persons' legal duty to register changes of their place of residence is based on the law. The Permanent Residence Act (NN, Nos 144/12 and 158/13) lays down the conditions governing the registration and deregistration of permanent and temporary residence of Croatian citizens. The Aliens Act (NN, No. 133/20) lays down the conditions of entry, movement, stay and work of aliens who are third-country nationals in the Republic of Croatia. The Act on Nationals of the European Economic Area Member States and Their Family Members (NN, Nos 66/19, 53/20 and 144/20) regulate conditions for the entry, movement, stay and work of nationals of the European Economic Area (hereinafter referred to as: EEA) Member States and their family members. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18.5. Data compilation | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
After the data on births and deaths have been collected on the electronic forms and submitted to the CBS begins the processing of the collected data. First is done coding and data entry, then data verification and all the logical and computational controls of data. Data that are based on individual records of migrants reporting their changes of residence are transferred yearly by the Ministry of the Interior to CBS where the processing of the received data is done with all the controls. Population estimate is calculated on the basis of the census data, natural change and net migration data. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18.6. Adjustment | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Census data are collected and processed in line with the Conference of European Statisticians Recommendations for the 2020 Censuses of Population and Housing as well as with the Regulation (EC) No 763/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on population and housing censuses. Data on live births and deaths are collected and processed in line with the Regulation (EU) No 1260/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council on European demographic statistics. Data on migration are collected and processed in line with the Regulation (EC) No 862/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 July 2007 on Community statistics on migration and international protection. |
