In the context of the recent cryptocurrency-related fraud that occurred in Croatia, journalists asked Minister of Finance Marko Primorac about when the market would be better regulated. He responded that several legislative initiatives and reforms are currently being worked on, including addressing this issue.

"We will strive to rectify certain damages and improve the situation beyond its previous state," he stated.

When asked about the cryptocurrency market, Boris Vujčić, the Governor of the Croatian National Bank (HNB), said that the HNB has been warning from the beginning that it is not regulated, and anyone involved should exercise extreme caution.

"We have made it very clear that if you enter that market, be prepared to potentially lose the amount you invest," Vujčić stated.
