Abstract
The article discusses the social context in which the Council for Standard Croatian Language Norm worked from 2005 to 2012, including the principles of work, resistance and support of its work, conclusions of the topics discussed and the social need to continue the work of such a state institution and in accordance with that, put the finishing touches to parts of its norms. It is based on the assumption established by the Council that each standard language is determined by the unique way in which it was created and built. Among Croatian linguistic idioms, the Croatian standard language is defined by its centuries-old history as a linguistic amalgam composed of three literary-linguistic components – Štokavian, Kajkavian and Čakavian. They form an unbreakable bond and a permanent source of its renewal in the future. In conclusion, Croatian language policy and language planning are the first-class task of state policy, which should ensure the natural and unhindered
development of the Croatian language in all its manifestations and functions. The role of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts as the central scientific institution in the Republic of Croatia in this demanding and complex task will be crucial. The gathering of members of the scientific community, cultural workers and the interested public in the country and abroad around the project of preservation and development of the most valuable identity heritage is a sign of Croatian national maturity and responsibility towards future generations.
