Abstract

The paper deals with student movements that took place in 1968 and 1971, primarily in the territory of the then Federal Republic of Croatia. From the broad corpus of events and processes that have taken place during the revolutionary student years, the paper distinguishes the issue of freedom of speech, as very important for affirming the whole process. The paper analyzes the legal regulation and its effect on free speech in the territory of Yugoslavia and the Republic of Croatia, respectively, and addresses these legal issues in the historical context of events that are crucial for their understanding.
