Hrvatski parlament u razdoblju demokratske tranzicije
Croatian Parliament in the Democratic Period transition

Summary/Abstract: In the processes of democratic transition in Central and Eastern Europe parliaments play an important role. The author examines the problems of functioning of the Croatian Sabor in the period 1990-1993. In particular he analyzes the changes of the constitutional structure of Sabor, development of the post-socialist parliamentary party system, the main problems of constitutional transformation and the policy agenda of legislation. He demonstrates that a weaker role played by the parliament in Croatia results from the Croatian imbalanced party system and an unstructured character of the ruling party, a strong presidential institution and the consequences of a deep ethnic cleavage between Croats and Serbs in Croatia.
