Abstract
This paper deals with the issue of the inadmissibility of applications brought before the
European Court of Human Rights. It addresses the problems faced by the Court as a result of
the increasing number of applications and the fact that more than 95% of them are rejected
without examining the merits of the case. The paper goes on to present some of the admissibility
criteria in order to familiarise the reader with their content and meaning, and also analyses
the criteria through the Court’s decisions in criminal cases against the Republic of Croatia. In
this way, an attempt is made to explain the core of the admissibility issue and to gain an insight
into the basic set of criteria that must be met for applications to be successfully brought before
the Court.
