This follows the publishing of the Final report (Follow-up report No. 10) of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza in Croatia on 7 June 2017, and in compliance with Article 10.4.4, Chapter 10.4 of the OIE Terrestrial Animal Health Code, Croatia is now free from Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza disease. The risk of contamination from importing poultry and poultry products from Croatia is negligible now.
