The county court having jurisdiction for the place where the person is domiciled or resides shall recognise and submit for execution the decisions of the competent authorities of the issuing State containing the following supervision measures: 1) prohibition on leaving the place of residence and changing the address used for delivery of summons, except with prior notification to the competent authority of the executing State; 2) prohibition on visiting a certain place or area; 3) prohibition on leaving a certain area, along with the temporary seizure of a travel or other document required for crossing the state border; 4) obligation to report at regular intervals to a certain person or government authority; 5) prohibition on approaching a certain person; 6) prohibition on establishing or maintaining contact with a certain person; 7) prohibition on pursuing a certain business activity; 8) prohibition on driving a motor vehicle, along with a suspension of the driving licence; 9) prohibition on stalking or harassing the victim or another person; 10) removal from home. The court shall refuse to recognise the supervision measures if: a) the certificate, which has been submitted together with the decision on supervision measures, is incomplete and manifestly does not correspond to the decision, or if a complete or corrected certificate is not received within the time limit; b) the person who is domiciled or resides or stays in the Republic of Croatia has not returned to the territory of the Republic of Croatia after the issuance of the decision on supervision measures in the issuing State; c) the competent court has not consented to receiving for execution the decision on supervision measures from the issuing State for a person who is not domiciled or does not reside or stay in the territory of the Republic of Croatia; d) the decision of the competent authority of the issuing State contains a supervision measure that is not provided by the relevant domestic Act; e) recognition of the decision on supervision measures would infringe upon the ne bis in idem principle; f) the criminal prosecution is statute-barred under the domestic law and relates to an offence the prosecution of which falls within the competence of domestic judicial authorities under the domestic law; g) the person who is subject to the supervision measures benefits from an immunity under the domestic law; h) the person who is subject to the supervision measures is under 14 years of age; i) in case of breach of the supervision measures, it would not be possible to execute the European arrest warrant against the person who is subject to these measures. Before issuing a decision on non-recognition of a foreign decision on supervision measures for reasons referred to in points (a) to (e) and point (i), the competent court shall communicate with the competent authority in the issuing State and, as necessary, request the latter to supply without delay additional information required for issuing the decision. If the court recognises a foreign decision on supervision measures although the circumstances referred to in paragraph 1 point (i) of this Article exist, it shall not apply the provisions of Title II of this Act to the person who is subject to the supervision measures in case of a breach of supervision measures. Notwithstanding the provision of point (c), the competent court may consent to the forwarding of a decision on supervision measures issued by the competent authority of the issuing State in respect of a person who is not domiciled or does not reside in the territory of the Republic of Croatia, on condition that prior to the issue of the decision in the issuing State the person lived for at least one year in the Republic of Croatia to which he or she has family or business ties.
