On Thursday and Friday, 22 and 23 January, the Council of Europe’s Committee of Experts on the Evaluation of Anti-Money Laundering Measures and the Financing of Terrorism (MONEYVAL) published two separate reports: one on Estonia and the other on Croatia.
It is noted that Estonia has, “to a large extent”, made progress in these areas.
The country has notably strengthened its legal and institutional framework for implementing targeted financial sanctions related to proliferation financing of weapons of mass destruction and new technologies.
Croatia has likewise taken steps towards this end - measures that have been welcomed by the Council of Europe’s experts.
Estonia will continue to be subject to MONEYVAL’s follow-up process and will need to report on any further progress in one year.
As for Croatia, it will be subject to an on-site visit in spring 2030, but it is no longer subject to the follow-up process.
