1.3.3. What types of decisions can be made?

The decision can be positive (if you are granted asylum or subsidiary protection) or negative (you were not granted protection). If you have received asylum or subsidiary protection, it means that you can stay in Croatia.
If you have received a negative decision, you can initiate an administrative dispute with a lawsuit, that is, you can appeal the decision of the administrative court. You will have the right to stay in Croatia as long as you are in an applicant status, that is, until the negative decision becomes enforceable.
If you leave Croatia during the procedure, a decision will be made to suspend the procedure, or in the event that, based on established facts and circumstances, it can be assessed that the conditions for granting international protection have not been met, a decision to refuse, or a negative decision, may be made.
