Since commercial specialized operation below SERA minimum heights over the congested areas of cities, towns or settlements or over an open-air assembly of persons is considered as high risk operation in the Republic of Croatia, aircraft operators from the EU Member States, Norway, Iceland, Lichtenstein and Switzerland must obtain approval for cross-border commercial high-risk operations (HR COM SPO) from their respective aviation authority.
