Freedom of displaying religious symbols in the light of separation between religious organizations and the state
Matija Miloš

Sažetak
Generally speaking, religious freedom is a controversial issue. The position of religious symbols and their influence on the separation of religious organizations and the state are no exception from this rule. Of particular importance in resolving these issues is finding a balance between religious freedom and the necessary separation of state and religion. The purpose of this work is to give an overview of legal endeavours for achieving such a balance. The author draws comparisons between the US Supreme Court, The European Court of Human Rights and the present situation in the Republic of Croatia. In this way, we come to the conclusion that a proper approach to the position of religious symbols, along with an unbiased government, is what is needed to preserve religious pluralism and avoid politicizing.
