Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present and to explain the level of protection of minority rights in the Republic of Croatia. As Croatia inherited from the former Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia the system of the protection of rights of the minorities immediately after gaining independence, it provided a model of the realisation of minority rights. That model guaranteed minorities the right for education in their own language, the right to the official use of their language and alphabet, the right to publishing in their mother tongue, acess to the media, protection of cultural treasures and their entire cultural heritage, various venues of preservation of ethnic, language and religious identity and the representation of minority interests.
