Sažetak
The specific goal of this paper is to contribute to the discussion of key problems and necessary steps
to be undertaken in the further development of social entrepreneurship in Croatia. Quantitative research
was applied through a survey questionnaire, the sample included 526 respondents divided into several
target groups: unemployed persons, members of social cooperatives, youth, farmers and employees of
social enterprises. Findings regarding relevant constraints relate mainly to legal, financial and tax system
constraints, constraints in the segment of education and capacity building, inefficient bureaucracy and
administration, ineffective support from the part of local and regional policy makers and stakeholders,
the lack of horizontal and vertical coordination and numerous other. Despite the limitations, the potential
for further development of social entrepreneurship is based on the excellent examples of good practice
realized so far, on the relevant achieved results from the part of civil society organizations as well as on the
existing initial scientific research on the topic.
