How to complain to HAKOM
Guidance for the users of electronic communications services on how to complain on the charged amount or service quality – procedure before HAKOM
Croatian Post and Electronic Communications Agency resolves disputes between operators and users of electronic communications services upon completed procedure with the operator and on the basis of a written request for the resolution of the dispute.
The Agency resolves disputes and adopts decisions on the basis of the submitted documentation, it does not hold hearings or receive parties.
In the procedure of resolution of disputes, HAKOM may adopt an appropriate decision, an opinion or a proposal, on the basis of an opinion of the Consumer Protection Commission, an advisory body within the Croatian Post and Electronic Communications Agency.
It is important to emphasise that while the decisions are binding for the operators, opinions and proposals represent only a general attitude on possible resolution of disputes, and are not binding for the operators. In that case, the user may request the dispute to be resolved at court.
You can check the status of your complaint on the Agency’s web page. This service shall be accessible to the registered user. (
