Abstract

The author claims that we are living in the time of formal democracy and multipartyism. He advocates a thesis that the Croatian government tolerates the opposition but at the same time delegitimizes it and renders it untrustworth. The government does not rule by the book and has no systematic ideology. Thus three types of opposition are immanent to it: the one that leads into totalitarianism, the one that strives towards democracy and finally the one that is given to internal reforms. The key condition for the success of the move towards democracy in Croatia is in countering nationalism and in coexistence within a heterogeneous society with a functional elite and interdependence as a principle.
