Croatia runs a state model for mandatory stocks, held separately from commercial stocks; part of the stock is stored at the JANAF Omisalj terminal under contract. Confidence note: System and obligation verified from EU sources; the agency name and model rest on secondary legal and comparative sources, as no current official Croatian page was opened in this pass.
Croatia is not an IEA member and no official release statement was found in this build.
