Hrvatski Telekom is a Croatian telecommunications company founded on 28 December 1998. The establishment of the company followed the division of the Croatian Post and Telecommunications into two separate entities: Croatian Post and Croatian Telecom. These new entities commenced their business operations on 1 January 1999. The company's primary services encompass fixed telephony, broadband internet, IPTV, and mobile telephony. In terms of ownership, Deutsche Telekom AG, a German telecommunications company, holds a significant stake. This relationship began in October 1999 when Deutsche Telekom purchased a 35% stake in Hrvatski Telekom for $850 million. Later, in 2001, Deutsche Telekom acquired an additional 16% stake in Hrvatski Telekom, bringing its total ownership to 51%. Other notable shareholders include the Raiffeisen Mandatory Pension Funds, Croatian War Veterans’ Fund and the Croatian government's Restructuring and Sale Centre.
