Summary/Abstract: The state of human rights in Croatia is characterized by good normative and institutional conditions for protection, but also by a lack of political will and general conditions necessary for their realization. Because of this, citizens are often unable to ensure the application and protection of many guaranteed rights and freedoms. Although the existing constitutional and legal solutions, institutions and procedures are harmonized with appropriate international standards in this area, international organizations criticize Croatia for their application in practice. A significant discrepancy between the prescribed solutions and the application of legal norms in specific cases, that is, the behavior of state authorities in practice, is evident. This particularly applies to the area of ​​exercising the rights of national minorities in Croatia. Belonging to national minorities often corresponds to the violation of human rights in many areas, from property rights to obtaining citizenship.
