HAKOM after the Final Abolition of Roaming Charges the Charges will not be completely removed
In the transitional period the existing charges will be significantly reduced, for about four times (depending on the customer domestic tariff).

It is an important issue for the Croatian operators to know the final amount of wholesale charges, which is still to be determined, due to a significant difference in the number of users who are in roaming in the Republic of Croatia (in the intensive summer period) compared to the number of Croatian roaming users abroad.
