Quorum and majorities at the owners' meeting in Croatia
A management decision is adopted when a majority of more than half of the co-owners, counted by share, votes in favour of it. The act has no separate quorum rule: a decision is carried on the required share of the whole building, or it is not carried.

kvalificirana većina suvlasnika je većina onih suvlasnika koji u vlasništvu imaju više od 80 % ukupne vrijednosne površine zgradeodluka o izboru predstavnika suvlasnika koji nije jedan od suvlasnika ili bračni ili izvanbračni drug ili životni partner ili neformalan životni partner ili srodnik u ravnoj liniji suvlasnika koji žive u istoj zgradi donosi se dvotrećinskom većinom.What this means in practice
The act names three majorities, all counted by share: more than 50 per cent, more than two thirds, and a qualified majority of more than 80 per cent of the total value area or of the co-ownership shares entered in the land register. A qualified majority is needed for investment maintenance, for converting common parts, for adding storeys, for letting common parts for more than a year and for mortgaging the building. Electing a representative who is not a co-owner or a close relative living in the building needs two thirds. The manager must file the decisions in the register of co-owners' communities.
Where Unitify fits
Unitify records how each owner votes and shows participation (units voted out of the units invited) and the result. Whether a meeting has a quorum and a decision passes is decided by the law above and your own rules; the record helps you check it.
