Sažetak
The policies of national minorities, within the Crioatian citizenship regime went through two stages of development over the last two decades. The first stage of Croatian citizenship regime development was marked by state practices described by Robert Hayden as “constitutional nationalism”, resulting in ethnic engineering through citizenship policies. This was followed by first self-exclusion and then exclusion of the largest minority group in Croatia, namely Croatian Serbs, from membership in the Croatian political community. The second, post-2000 stage was marked by liberalization of citizenship policies towards this group. After 2000 policies towards the Serb minority became more inclusive, resulting in the gradual expansion of the scope of rights granted to national minorities. However, a distinctive feature of Croatian citizenship regime during both these stages was the stability of its core citizenship legislation, which remained virtually unchanged. All provisions continue to testify to the Croatian state as a primarily national state of Croats regardless of their residency. Furthermore, the changes of the regime towards the Serb minority should also be analysed through the lenses of particular circumstances and external pressures, rather than from the positions of the changed self-perception of the Croatian nation or the nature of the state.
