The Law on Registered Same-Sex Partnership was adopted on 22 June 2005. The law covers only property relations, the right/obligation to support a socially weaker partner, and inheritance rights to a degree. It does not grant any rights in the area of social security (social and health insurance, pension rights) and it does not confer the status of a next-of-kin to the partners. The adoption of this law sparked a political debate in the Sabor, with the nationalists vehemently opposing recognition of same-sex partners, and the opposition liberals. The social democrats, arguing that the law proposed was too weak, refused to take part in the voting, leaving the chamber. The vote succeeded with 44 votes for (government parties) and 3 against (the nationalists). The law will become effective in July 2006.

A more comprehensive Registered Partnership Bill passed the first reading in parliament in July 2004 but was rejected by parliament during the second reading in March 2005. The Bill would have provided for all rights inherent to marriage apart from joint adoption rights.

On 31 March 2005, the government proposed the new partnership bill.
