Abstract

The paper analyses the new regulation of citizens’ rights in the Republic of Croatia established in the early 1990s. As part of the paper, a brief overview of the regulation of citizens’ rights in Croatia on the eve of democratic changes has been given. The author elaborates on the arrangement of citizens’ rights according to the Constitution of the Republic of Croatia of 1990 and the regulation of citizens’ rights in the period from the adoption of the Constitution until the declaration of independence on 8 October 1991. In addition, the author analyses the regulations on citizens’ rights since 8 October 1991 and the rules on citizens’ rights enacted after the declaration of independence. The main conclusion of the paper is that in the early 1990s, there was a significant break with the tradition in the direction of stronger emphasis on the individual position of a citizen and the protection of their rights. Similarly, the author points out that the transition to a new model of regulation of citizens’ rights was hindered by wartime circumstances and the restrictions on citizens’ rights that were introduced as a result of those circumstances.
