Abstract
In the first part authors determine the idea and significance of cultural diplomacy which becomes more and more important, often required and relevant component of international relations. Contacts accomplished in the field of culture enable secure and convivial surroundings for creation of bilateral relations, open the door for negotiations, as well as shape and redefine relations with other states. The history and development of cultural diplomacy, which is institutionalized at the end of the 19th century, are being discussed in the second part of the article. The third part analyses obstacles in cultural diplomacy enforcement, while the forth one is focused on cultural diplomacy of the Republic of Croatia which, finding itself at the doorstep of the EU, seems to recognize the role a positive international perception could play in terms of taking the final steps.
