Free movement rights with Switzerland are a bit of a fudge since it is not formally part of the EEA Single Market and instead has a series of ad-hoc agreements with the EU one of which has provided freedom of movement since 2002. https://www.sem.admin.ch/sem/en/home/themen/fza_schweiz-eu-efta.html https://www.sem.admin.ch/sem/en/home/themen/fza_schweiz-eu-e... Similarly to the way some EU members applied transitional arrangements temporarily limiting free movement rights to citizens of new members states, Switzerland currently has a quota on Croatian citizens moving there. "The Federal Council’s decision of 16 November 2022 to invoke the safeguard clause for Croatian nationals applies initially for the year 2023. It may be extended until the end of 2024." https://www.sem.admin.ch/sem/en/home/themen/fza_schweiz-eu-efta/eu-efta_buerger_schweiz/faq.html#-2068897050 https://www.sem.admin.ch/sem/en/home/themen/fza_schweiz-eu-e...
