The International programme of Croatian Radio "Voice of Croatia" (Croatian: Međunarodni program Hrvatskoga radija "Glas Hrvatske") is the international service of Croatian state radio via satellite and Internet.
The programme is for Croatians living abroad, Croatia's minority groups and the international community. While mostly in the Croatian language, news and segments of up to 15 minutes duration are broadcast in English, German, Italian, Hungarian, and Spanish at different times of the day.
