At the 220th session held on May 25 2023, the Government of the Republic of Croatia submitted to the parliamentary procedure the proposal of the Law on the establishment of the Center of Excellence for the collection, processing and analysis of data from open sources, an institution of interest to the Republic of Croatia and international security.
 
The proposed law regulates the activity, organization and method of financing the Center as a non-profit institution founded by the state, and the founding rights would be exercised by the Security-Intelligence Agency (SOA).

In addition to Croatian representatives, the center would consist of representatives of foreign security and intelligence and other appropriate services and international institutions, and they would join it by signing a Memorandum of Cooperation.

Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Croatian Veterans, as well as President of the Council for the Cordination of Security-Intelligence Agencies, Tomo Medved emphasized that the Center of Excellence for OSINT (Open-Source Intelligence) will be the central place of knowledge and experience in this field at the national and international level.

He emphasized that a Center of Excellence of this type has not yet been formed in the international intelligence community, and the fact that it is managed by the Republic of Croatia is strong evidence of the importance of our security-intelligence system at the international level.
