Sažetak
The paper deals with the origins and the definitions of sustainable development, as practiced in the two European regions: the western European Community, and in the post–communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe, to which also Croatia belongs. The overview of events in environmental concern world wide, in the last 25 years, shows that there is evidence of fast changes which have left communist countries behind. Major concern of the paper is the existing lack of accepted definition and of criteria for the identification of sustainable development. Five recognition criteria are given as presented in the open literature. Using the examples of implementation of Conventions accepted at the UNCED Conference in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, the paper discusses the shortcomings of current policies of sustainability in Croatia.
