LONDON, May 6 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - A Croatian court has ruled that same-sex partners can now adopt children, backing a gay couple in their five-year fight for the right to family life, according to lawyers and LGBT+ activists involved in the case.
Zagreb’s Administrative Court ruled on April 21 that same-sex couples should not face discrimination in state adoption, the Rainbow Families Association (RFA) said on its website, alongside a redacted copy of the judgment.
Contacted by phone on Thursday, an administrator at the court confirmed the judgment to the Thomson Reuters Foundation, as did the couple’s lawyer.
