Union citizenship: Development, Impact and Challenges. Croatian National Report

In the process of preparation for the EU membership, Croatia has recently introduced a number of legal reforms in order to fulfill the membership criteria. One of these concerns the amendments made to the Croatian Constitution in June 2010. These amendments include, among others, Article 146 of the Croatian Constitution on EU citizenship rights. Essentially, this provision represents a domestic counterpart of one of the fundamental provisions of primary EU law, Article 20(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, which provides a number of rights to EU citizens. Croatia is the first State to adopt a provision concerning European citizenship in its Constitution - none of the current Member States’ Constitutions include such an article.
