Croatian Hospitals Bound To Pay Fees To Catholic Church

All Croatian hospitals and social institutions have been ordered to pay 137 euros of monthly fee to the Croatian Bishop Conference.

The funds will be used for spiritual support to the Catholic religion believers.

Croatian Ministry of Health and Social Welfare notified these institutions about the new pecuniary obligation by the end of February.

As many as 64 hospitals and 260 social care institutions will provide a total annual income of €532,000 to the Catholic Church.

Pursuant to the agreement signed by the Croatia and Vatican, the local government is proving additional financial assistance of €435,000 to the Bishop Conference.
