Summary/Abstract: The survey results of Croatian survey participants related to monolingual dictionaries of Croatian are presented and described. Moreover, the contemporary situation of the general monolingual lexicography of Croatian is described and critically analysed. The survey has been conducted in 2017 on almost ten thousand participants in 26 European countries within the COST Action IS1305 (XUoSHDQ 1HWZoUN oI H LH[iFoJUDSK\ (ENeL), among which there were 516 Croatian participants. There has been many scientific and professional papers on lexicography of Croatian, but this research brings some new and stimulating insight into dictionary users, their habits, wishes, and expectations. The results are even more interesting when Croatian users are compared with the European users, by which a wider picture of the state of the contemporary monolingual and general lexicography of Croatian can be created.
