Emergency Numbers and Services

The number 112 is the main emergency number in Croatia. It connects you to all emergency services: ambulance, police, and fire.

You can call 112 from any phone. It works even without a SIM card. The operators speak English, German, Italian, Hungarian, and Slovak.

When you call, tell the operator your location and what happened. They will send the right service to help you.

You can also call the services directly if you know which one you need.
