- Labour Day falls on Saturday 1 May and is not moved; Statehood Day falls on Sunday 30 May and is not moved; Assumption Day falls on Sunday 15 August and is not moved; Christmas Day falls on Saturday 25 December and is not moved; Saint Stephen's Day falls on Sunday 26 December and is not moved, because Croatia has no statutory substitute days.
- In 2027, public holidays fall on 8 weekdays in Croatia, one fewer than in 2026.
Croatia has no statutory substitute days: a public holiday that falls on a Saturday or Sunday is not moved to a weekday, so the following Monday stays a working day in these counts.

About public holidays in Croatia
Croatian holidays are listed in the Act on Holidays, Memorial Days and Non-Working Days, published in the Narodne novine gazette in 2019. Its first article names the fourteen days that count as holidays and non-working days, and this site treats exactly those as days off.
Taken in calendar order, they begin with New Year's Day and Epiphany on 6 January. Easter and Easter Monday follow, then Labour Day on 1 May and Statehood Day on 30 May. Corpus Christi is the Thursday after Trinity Sunday. The summer brings Anti-Fascist Struggle Day on 22 June, Victory and Homeland Thanksgiving Day and Croatian Veterans' Day on 5 August, and the Assumption on 15 August. The autumn has All Saints' Day on 1 November and Remembrance Day on 18 November, which honours the victims of the Homeland War and of Vukovar and Škabrnja. Christmas Day and St Stephen's Day on 26 December close the year. Independence Day on 8 October does not appear in the list.
A second group of days sits in the same act without being non-working for everyone: memorial days, which are marked but are ordinary working days, and religious days that members of certain faiths may take off, such as Christmas on 7 January for Orthodox Christians. These are individual rights and not general closures, so they do not enter the count.
Article 4 settles the weekend question: a holiday that falls on a Sunday is not moved to the next day. HolidayTally applies the same rule to Saturdays, so there are no substitute days. Article 5 gives employees a right to pay compensation for the days in Articles 1 and 3, which is a pay rule and does not change which days are free.
In 2026 five of the fourteen fall at a weekend: Easter Sunday on 5 April, Statehood Day on Saturday 30 May, the Assumption on Saturday 15 August, All Saints' Day on Sunday 1 November and St Stephen's Day on Saturday 26 December. The other nine reduce the working days of the year.
