Summary/Abstract: The initiated processes of democratization in Croatia have been stopped quite early. The aggressive behavior against minorities in Croatia, particularly Serbs, has become more and more prominent. In the conditions of nationalist rule in Croatia, members of the Serbian minority have turned to NGOs for protection of their rights, while Croats have addressed state organs. NGOs have performed the function of providing information rather than the function of protection. They have been acting in a hostile environment. Both the majority of the population and the state bodies have been hostile to their activities. Grave infringements of human rights in Croatia have happened on a massive scale. They have been systematically applied by the op authorities as a weapon in their policies. The highest levels of government have hushed up crimes against human rights and protected the perpetrators.
