What is Obrazac Dividende — Dividend WHT Relief/Refund (Croatia)?

Obrazac Dividende — Dividend WHT Relief/Refund (Croatia) is used to claim a Croatia withholding tax refund. Requires the residence-state tax authority's own certification on Section VII before onward submission to Croatia — this product never fills that block, nor Section VI's wet-signature pair. The form offers a relief-or-refund title but carries no selector anywhere on the page for it; only the refund track (tax already withheld) is ever produced. Complements, not replaces, hr-whtr (the prior generic worksheet, unchanged).
