Commission asks Croatia to comply with the Digital Services Act and empower the national authority to enforce it
EU DSA enforcement mechanics are worth background awareness, but this item has no direct AI or APS relevance.
Key points
- The EU Commission issued Croatia a formal notice for failing to properly implement the Digital Services Act.
- Croatia's national enforcement body lacks correct sanctioning powers under the DSA - a compliance gap, not an AI matter.
- No AI or algorithmic governance content; this is a platform regulation enforcement procedural item.

The European Commission has issued a second formal notice to Croatia for failing to correctly implement the Digital Services Act (DSA), specifically regarding the powers granted to its national Digital Services Coordinator. While Croatia passed implementing legislation in April 2025, the Commission found it does not respect required fine limits for online platforms, fails to ensure penalties are effective and dissuasive, and does not allow fines against individuals who obstruct inspections. Croatia has two months to respond before the Commission may escalate to a reasoned opinion.
