Sažetak
Although pre-accession minority conditionality did result in implementation of international and European norms on minority rights into Croatian legislation, minority conditionality has remained vague and lacks solid normative grounds in the EU legislation beyond the anti-discrimination legislation. The EU minority conditionality designed for the CEE countries have evolved with respect to the Western Balkans region. Along those criteria that were originally designed for CEE countries, the second generation minority conditionality developed for the Western Balkans furthermore requires the sustainable return of refugees to take place, the pursuit of transitional justice and inter-ethnic reconciliatory activities in the post-conflict setting to emerge. However, in Croatia the same issue remains. The biggest problems related to certain national minorities are the return of refugees and the resolution of their status (the Serbian national minority), the social problems and the problems of integration (the Roma national minority) as well as the return of lost property (Serbs and Jews).
