Summary/Abstract: In the paper the basic changes in value orientations from 1985 to 2010 are analyzed. After the fall of socialism, a trend is detected which can be described as a combination of re-traditionalization and modernization of basic value orientations. The re-traditionalization is reflected in an increase in religiosity and national exclusivism. On the basis of the analyzed values, Croatia is characterized by the domination of religiosity. On the other hand, we can detect certain modernization trends that are reflected mainly in the acceptance of gender equality. What can also be seen is a certain fatigue with political economic liberalism, the acceptance of which started to decline.
