Summary/Abstract: The European Convention on Human Rights came into force in respect of the Republic of Croatia in 1997 and the European Court of Human Rights has since adopted over 130 judgments against that country. At the outset, the cases examined concerned mainly Article 6 § 1 of the Convention – the right of access to court and the right to a hearing within a reasonable time. However, after 2005, applications lodged with the Court started raising various issues under a number of Convention provisions. The present article analyses some of the most important judgments adopted by the Court against Croatia and the state of their execution or the impact they might have already produced in the domestic law or practice. The cases examined concern the right to life, the right to a fair trial, the right to respect for home, private and family life, the right to property, the freedom of religion, discrimination issues as well as the prohibition of ill-treatment.
