Croatian criminal-record certificate (ministry-issued)
Uvjerenje iz Kaznene Evidencije Translation for Australia
The potvrda or uvjerenje iz kaznene evidencije is criminal-record evidence issued by the Croatian Ministry of Justice. It is a different document from the court-issued certificate about ongoing proceedings, and the ministry states that certificates for exercising rights abroad are issued in Croatian only.

Croatian-language certificate, English translation added separately
The Ministry of Justice states that criminal-record certificates issued for exercising rights abroad are issued in Croatian, which is why an English translation is normally required for an Australian submission.
