Croatia is beautiful, well connected and has low taxes. Capital gain tax is 12%. It's a very important consideration although some other countries in the area are even more attractive tax wise but then there are trade-offs (more remote, worse infrastructure, not as beautiful).

CGT is applicable only if held <2 years, otherwise no CGT

Wow, that's fantastic. I may consider Croatia as the base for retirement in the future if that stays. Nothing annoys me more about EU countries' tax system as giving all the tax breaks to real estate investors and punishing stock investors with heavy CGT.

		For FIRE - maybe check out Serbia (IIRC >1 year no CGT) as well as Greece, Malta, Cyprus ...etc.
