Sažetak
On 28 October 2011 the Croatian Parliament passed the Amendments Act to the Croatian Nationality Act. This constitutes not only the third alteration of the Act in question, but also the most important one. By these amendments the legislator tried to solve certain problems which have, during the Croatian Nationality Act that has been applied in the same form since the amendments of 1992 (with the exception of the amendments after the decision of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Croatia, by which Art. 26 (3) was annulled), appeared in administrative practice and in the case law of the Administrative Court of the Republic of Croatia. The author analyzes the most important changes brought about by the Croatian Nationality Act in an attempt to answer the question whether these changes solve open issues which are for the most part less legal and more political. The latter changes concern primarily naturalisation. By these amendments, the naturalisation requirements for Croatian nationality have been scrutinized. In addition, the method of determining membership to the Croatian people has been defined, and the term emigrant re-defined (and improved).
