Abstract
The protection of the rights of national minorities, which also implies ensuring effective
participation, in the political, as well as in the cultural, social and economic life of members of
national minorities, is inseparable from the principle of prohibition of discrimination. The Republic
of Croatia is an example of a well-regulated normative framework for the effective participation
of members of national minorities, which also implies their participation in public administration
bodies. With the aim of determining trends in the employment of national minorities in these
bodies - state administration bodies, judicial bodies and administrative bodies of local and regional
self-government units, an analysis was made of publicly available data from the report on the
implementation of the Constitutional Law on the Rights of National Minorities for the period
from 2009. until 2021. From the report on the occurrences of discrimination of the Office of the
Ombudsman, an analysis was made of the occurrence of discrimination based on ethnicity, as well
as in the field of work and employment. Analysis of the results shows decreasing trends in the share
of employed members of national minorities in public administration bodies.
