Sažetak
The rise of the Communist system in Yugoslavia in 1945 was accompanied by a severe nationalization process for properties held by private persons and religious communities, especially the property of the Catholic Church. Confiscation was regulated by different laws, i.e. Act on Agrarian Reform and Colonization (1945), Nationalisation Act (1946 and 1948) and Expropriation Act (1947). With the fall of the Communist system in the 1990s and pursuant to the 1992 Agreement between the Republic of Croatia and the Holy See and especially the 1998 Agreement on economic affairs, the processes of returning confiscated properties and/or reimbursement for those properties began. Pursuant to these agreements, the issue of returning confiscated properties was approached bilaterally between representatives of the Government commission for relations with religious communities and the Bishop’s Commission of the Croatian Bishops’ Conference. This paper analyses the state of return or transformation of confiscated properties owned by the Catholic Church and the possibilities for their redevelopment. Although the majority of the buildings have been returned to the Catholic Church “by law”, in reality they continue to be occupied by the previous inhabitants.
