Abstract

Public trust in national institutions is one of the key elements in the institutional operation of the Republic of Croatia. The Croatian Army as an institution is the provider of the security of the Republic of Croatia and all its citizens and has enjoyed the public trust since its founding, when it showed strength and determination during the Homeland War as well as in peacetime. The paper investigates the level of trust of Croatian citizens in the army in relation to other institutions and analyses the relation between the trust and the understanding of the system and citizens’ satisfaction with the activities of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Croatia. The paper is based on a survey conducted in June 2020 on a sample of 884 respondents. The findings indicate that the Croatian Army is one of the institutions that Croatian public trusts the most and that awareness and satisfaction with the activities of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Croatia contributes to building of public trust.
