Students Coming from Bosnia and Hercegovina, Montenegro and Serbia

Students coming from Bosnia and Hercegovina, Montenegro and Serbia that have health insurance with the national health insurance provider in their home country, may bring a proof of the health insurance of their home country – the so-called “bolesnički list”. Upon arrival to Zagreb, students will report to the Croatian Health Insurance Fund (Hrvatski zavod za zdravstveno osiguranje – HZZO) and submit the so-called “bolesnički list” at:
Odjel za međunarodnu suradnju / Department for international cooperation
Branimirova ulica 37

The Croatian Health Insurance Fund (HZZO) will issue a document that enables exchange students to use the health services within the Croatian health system. Such document will be issued without any additional charges.
