Sažetak
Veterinary science has an exceptionally rich history, although the beginnings of the science of veterinary medicine date from as late as the second half of the 18th century, when the first schools of veterinary medicine were established. The first school of veterinary medicine was established in 1762 in Lyon, France, in the most developed European country with the new bourgeois society. Shortly after that, on the model of the French school, other European countries established their veterinary schools. At that time, human medicine had already been well developed, and therefore the medical aspect always prevailed in the study of veterinary medicine. Also, due to the existence of numerous zoonoses it was common that medical authorities managed both medical and veterinary service. Efforts to establish a veterinary college in Zagreb were being made for more than a century. The first attempts to establish veterinary schools in Croatia were made in 1806 when in Dalmatia, after the arrival of the French, elementary and secondary schools were established, i.e. there was also an attempt to establish a veterinary school in Zadar. On the basis of the Act on the regulation of veterinary medicine in the Kingdom of Croatia and Slavonia, passed in 1888, veterinary medicine was separated from the health care system and organized as independent service in 1891. In 1919, the Veterinary College of Zagreb was founded and in 1924 it became the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. At first, the College was under the influence of its Viennese counterpart, then under the influence of veterinary schools in Germany and the Scandinavian countries, and after 1945 it was influenced by the Russian veterinary medicine. The most important periods in the development of the Croatian veterinary education were the period after Croatia became a sovereign and independent state (1990) and the period after the Declaration of Bologna was signed (2001), when the Faculty committed itself to implement the model of higher education prevailing in the European Union.
