Sažetak
The Republic of Croatia is rich in geodiversity and geoheritage due to its geographical position at the contact of the Pannonian Basin, the Dinarides and the Alps. In total 52 geosites are protected by the Nature Protection Law. The importance and value of Croatian geoheritage has been recognized on a global scale by designating Papuk and Vis archipelago as UNESCO Global Geoparks. For the first time this paper presents a complete historical overview of the national legislative framework related to geodiversity and geoheritage. It as well, presents an overview of protected geoheritage and relevant institutions in the nature protection sector, challenges and problems encountered in the assessment process, protection and management of geoheritage.
