In order for a country to be included in the program, it must, among other things, take credible measures against terrorism, have a reliable law enforcement system, protect borders and other institutional systems that ensure security. Another requirement is that the nonimmigrant visa application rejection rate from there must be less than 3 percent. This last condition has been fulfilled by Croatia.
