Sažetak
Euroscepticism is discussed in the paper from the point of view of citizens and political elites, during the accession process and in the first years of Croatia’s EU membership. The term Euroscepticism is in the paper understood as a combination of lack of trust in the European Union and lack of trust for the EU membership. Soft and hard type of Euroscepticism is taken in consideration. In spite of a long EU accession process and difficult timing of entering the EU in the period of economic crisis, Croatia could not be considered as the Eurosceptic country. The general attitude of citizens and public opinion during the past years could be rather called as Euro realistic. On the other hand, the majority of Croatian political parties support the EU orientation, but there are a few Eurosceptic parties which are of minor influence. In certain periods the rise of Euroscepticism was recorded, but mostly among political parties and groups of individuals of marginal influence.
