Croatia-Belarus relations are foreign relations between Croatia and Belarus. Both countries established diplomatic relations on September 22, 1992. Though geographically not very close, Croatia and Belarus are both Slavic countries and thus share certain cultural and linguistic similarities.

Croatia is represented in Belarus through its embassy in Moscow (Russia), while Belarus is represented in Croatia through its embassy in Budapest (Hungary).

Relations

Mutual recognition occurred on September 2, 1992. Croatian and Belarus signed bilateral treaties on the promotion and reciprocal protection of investments in 2001, for the avoidance of double taxation and prevention of tax evasion on income and capital in 2003, on international road transport in 2005, on cooperation in the field of tourism in 2010 and many others.[1]

Apostolic Nuncio in Belarus from 2004 to 2011 was the Croatian Bishop Martin Vidović. Tonino Picula was an observer of the OSCE's parliamentary elections in Belarus in 2012.

Economic relations

Economic cooperation between Croatia and Belarus is good. In 2012 Belarus exported to Croatia goods worth $41.9 million[2] and imported from it goods worth $14 million.[3]
