Summary/Abstract: Croatia has been a party before the European Court of Human Rights (hereinafter: the Court) since 1997. During this period, the Court has developed extensive jurisprudence in respect of Croatia, examining a range of issues concerning various human rights guaranteed under the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (hereinafter: the Convention). Croatian experiences before the Court and the Committee of Ministers in the execution of the Court's judgments finding violations of the Convention may be of particular use to Bosnia and Herzegovina, as the legal systems of both countries have the same origins and to a large extent still rely on the same underlying legal principles. This paper thus provides a comprehensive overview of the Court's most important judgments and decisions in respect of Croatia in both the civil and criminal field, beneficial for ensuring the development of Convention compliant case-law, and efficient execution of similar judgments of the Court against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
