Its partner in the project is Zagreb-based cryptocurrency brokerage and crypto-payment processing company Electrocoin, whose core business involves selling and buying cryptocurrency from both retail and institutional clients, as well as facilitating cryptocurrency payments for merchants.
Electrocoin has been running the bitcoin-mjenjacnica.hr service for five years now.
