Sažetak
This paper analyses some indicators of students’ potential in democracy. It has been established that students perceive the Croatian political system as rather undemocratic because
of some acts and behaviour, deficient democratic prerequisites, nonacceptance of citizens’ interests and opinions and general distrust of political actors. Similar reasons can explain the social and political inactivity of students: lack of confidence in politics and belief that
interests and opinions of the young people are not acknowledged; lack of trust that things can be changed and general indifference of the young people and their involvement in different life activities. There is little variation in students’ attitudes: significant differences are related to their different scientific studies. It is possible to conclude that in some elements students lack in democratic potential which justifies further reasearch into this subject.
