THE 1991 CROATIAN CONSTITUTION IN THE EUROPEAN LEGAL COMPARISON

Peter Häberle ; Universität Bayreuth, Bayreuth, Deutschland

Abstract

The Croatian Constitution belongs into the category of pioneer constitutions in the Eastern European countries and its content-related achievement cannot be appraised outside the context in which it has been merged. Unlike some other Eastern European constitutions, it does not include the context of transitional experience. Consequently, the author analyzes the 1991 Croatian Constitution via several foci of comparison: The Preamble culture in the introductory article, Basic provisions and fundamental values provision, fundamental human rights, constitutional court, and others. In the conclusion, the author claims that the Croatian Constitution is a solid foundation for developing today’s type of constitutional state.
