Abstract
The idea to found a veterinary school in the region of southwest Europe originated in the year 1806. In 1844 the Croatian-Slavonian Economic Society issued an initiative to establish a veterinary college in Zagreb and in 1850 at the General Council of Physicians/Medical Doctors the foundation of veterinary college in Zagreb was proposed. In 1856 most of the districts requested the establishment of a veterinary college in Zagreb and by November 28, 1861 the Croatian State Assembly also demanded the organization of an obstetrics and veterinary department. Later, on April 8, 1869 the medical faculty was asked to found a teaching department for obstetrics and veterinary medicine. Thus by May 11, 1888 the Croatian State Assembly received a request for the establishment of a medical faculty which should also include the organization of a Department for Infectious Diseases of Animals, and veterinary medical officers/inspectors. By a regulation of August 31, 1919 the school was established and a Draft Order was drawn up. By order of King Alexander on December 7, 1924. The Veterinary College in Zagreb became the Veterinary Faculty, initially located in Savska cesta and it later moved to Heinzelova 55 in Zagreb.
