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
