Activists and experts have called on Croatia to promote and protect human rights and freedoms at home as well as abroad after the country was elected by the UN General Assembly as a new member of the Human Rights Council last week.

Croatia is preparing to receive up to 3,200 refugees and migrants as part of an EU plan to share over 160,000 refugees and migrants currently in Italy, Hungary and Greece around the EU countries.

Germany on Wednesday lifted the last remaining working restrictions on Croatian nationals, thereby enabling them to work without hindrance in the country.
