Minorities in Croatia - Report

The difficulties of reconstructing relationships between communities after war are immense. Many hundreds of thousands of people from all communities became refugees or internally displaced, thousands were killed and many more carry deep physical and psychological wounds. Time can help to heal these wounds, but this needs to be supported by strong moral leadership in the country ; programmes to bring about full and effective equality ; and unambiguous support by the international community for reconciliation. International standards and monitoring mechanisms, including the OSCE Mission in Zagreb and the CoE Advisory Committee, are crucial and they have been cited widely in this report. New laws have been agreed but often these enactments are followed by a failure of implementation, despite the promotion of minority rights and the effective rule of law being crucial for membership of the EU under the 1993 Copenhagen criteria.
