Summary/Abstract: Taking an example of corona-crisis management in Croatia, the author discusses the rela tionship between crisis and some aspects of democracy. At the level of constitutional and legal prerogatives, as well as at the level of electoral procedures, it was shown that Croatian democracy is not ready for the legislative and executive authorities to function smoothly in extraordinary circumstances. Such a situation potentially can lead to erosion of democratic legitimacy and produce unwanted consequences for future functioning of democracy.
