On 23 February 1972, Germany and Yugoslavia signed a Co-Production Agreement, which entered into force on 24 February 1972, replacing the precedent Agreement of 19 July 1957.
On 26 October 1992 Germany has agreed with Croatia, as a successor state, to keep on applying the agreement and to maintain it in force.
The Agreement applies to full-length films. Multilateral co-productions with producers from third countries being linked to Germany or Croatia by a Co-Production Agreement are possible.
Financial contribution of a co-producer shall generally be at least 30% (in the case of multilateral co-productions, 20% are the minimum).
