The paper surveys relevant documents and strategies featuring explicit mentions of civic education, published research in the field of civic education, and key stakeholders in its implementation. Starting with the impetus from Europe to implement education for human rights and democratic citizenship, this paper gives an outline of Croatia’s response to that impetus. The main points of interest in the paper whether and in which ways the system tried to include civic education in the educational policy of the Republic of Croatia, as well as who affected those processes. The paper presents a chronological overview of all developments in the field of civic education policy in Croatia since 1999, when the first strategic document on developing civic competence was adopted, until the present day.
