Sažetak
Author presents the basic findings of the survey on political participation in Croatia. Data presented indicate that Croatian citizens still have rather satisfac-tory level of political interest and that they do follow the political information in the mass media, specifically on television. On the other hand, they express low levels of political efficacy and believe that there is very little that can be changed by political participation and activism. The formal forms of political participa-tion, like voting, also show the declining rates. Levels of non-satisfaction with the quality of democratic life are high. Major problems in the country are per-ceived as economic and major strengths are seen in the natural resources and potential of the people.
