In a recent development, Croatian politicians from the Most party, specifically Nikola Grmoja, Marin Miletić, and Rijeka councilor Petra Mandić, have expressed concerns regarding a ruling by the Constitutional Court of Croatia. This decision pertains to the registration of a child born via surrogacy in Ukraine into Croatian state registers. They argue that this ruling is not an isolated incident but represents a precedent that could facilitate a systematic circumvention of Croatian legislation surrounding surrogacy.

Petra Mandić emphasized that Croatian family law is founded on the principle that the mother of the child is the woman who has given birth. This foundational legal presumption is critical to the country's legal system. The concerns raised by Mandić suggest that if such principles begin to be undermined through individual court decisions without appropriate legislative change or societal discourse, it could lead to significant legal uncertainties within the country.

The implications of this ruling are profound, as it not only challenges established family law norms but also raises questions about the societal and ethical aspects of surrogacy. The Most party's response indicates a desire to protect existing legal frameworks and ensure that future legislative discussions include public input and clear guidelines regarding surrogacy practices.
