Dear ACAP Members and Supporters,
As you may know, ACAP leadership has been a driving force in the development of the Double Taxation Treaty (DTT) between the United States and Croatia. This treaty, signed in 2022, requires the advice and consent of the Senate to be ratified. Now that the legislative session has resumed, we are asking for your support to help ensure the significant benefits of the DTT for our Croatian-American community.
Here’s how you can help:
Reach out to your elected officials in Congress to ask for their support in ratifying the DTT.
- We’ve enclosed a prepared letter template for you to use.
- Find your elected officials in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate here.
- Members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee can be found here.

Submit your letter quickly and easily using democracy.io:
- Go to democracy.io and enter your address.
- Select your representatives from the list that appears.
- Confirm the officials are correct.
- In the subject line, enter: “Requesting Your Support to Ratify the DTT: Strengthen U.S. – Croatia Ties.”
- Copy and paste the template letter into the message box.
- Enter your contact information.
- Choose “Taxes” or “Taxation” as the topic.
- Hit submit.
Prefer to reach out manually by email or USPS?
- Add your name, address, and the title, name, and address of the elected official you’re contacting.
Important guidelines for your letter:
- The letter is written from your perspective as an individual constituent.
- Do not attribute the views in the letter to ACAP or any other organization.
- Keep a positive tone, encouraging Senators to vote “Yes” to ratify the DTT.
- Avoid negative, derogatory, or threatening language.
- Feel free to share personal stories about how ratifying the DTT would impact your business or family in the U.S. or Croatia.
