		Croatia has made progress in some areas since the last parliamentary elections for the house of deputies in 1995.

	Homoseksuality
		While the establishment of the Republic of Croatia was meant to usher in a West European style liberal democracy, the authoritarian rule of Tudjman and his party, the Hrvatska demokratska zajednica (HDZ, Croatian Democratic Union), hindered the cultural, political and social progress of the gay and lesbian community in Croatia.
		To this day, most homosexuals in Croatia are unwilling to publicly come out, and when they do participate in interviews in the Croatian press or publish articles or books with a gay and lesbian theme, they conceal their identities by only giving their initials or a pseudonym.
		However, to present the gay and lesbian community in Croatia as one that is "invisible" would be to ignore some very positive developments that have aimed to advance the position of gays and lesbians in Croatian society.

	CROATIA
		Croatia, a country of approximately 4.8 million inhabitants located in southern Europe on the Adriatic Sea, declared independence from the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia on 25 June 1991.
		27 Recently, however, some economists have pronounced Croatia to be "effectively in a war-recovery situation"28 and termed it a "small but vibrant economy." The country's GNP grew by 6.5 percent last year, which is one of the highest rates in Europe, while its inflation levels have been one of the lowest at 3.5 percent.
		In recent years the government (under pressure from the influential Catholic church) has actively promoted Croatia's "demographic renewal" and campaigned for slowing the decrease in the birth rate, claiming that the nation is threatened with "extinction." As a result a "Program for Demographic Renewal" was adopted by Parliament in January 1996.

	Venice Commission - Commission de Venise
		The application and interpretation of the term “permanent residence in the area” are of particular importance within the current political context in Croatia, in which the issues of the return of Serb refugees, equal opportunity for citizenship rights regardless of ethnicity and the full restoration of property rights remain unresolved or only partially resolved.
		The right of minorities to appoint observers for the elections in those units where their members participate in the elections and are candidates, is a very effective tool to supervise the implementation of their equal right to vote and to proportional political representation.
		This is especially important given the complex nationality situation in Croatia, unresolved problems of the citizenship law and a lack of clarity as to which individual categories of people can take part in the elections and in which conditions.

		Elections were held for all the seats of the House of Representatives following the premature dissolution of this body on 20 September 1995.

	East European Constitutional Review
		Two recent waves of elections in Croatia have confirmed the electorate’s continued support of the Croatian Democratic Union (CDU) and its leader, President Franjo Tudjman.
		The opposition’s poor showing in these elections was attributed mostly to their failure to agree on a single credible candidate.
		In the run up to the election, Tudjman also staged several grandiose public events which were clearly campaign events, including the “peace train” ride to Vukovar in eastern Slavonia, which he and 2000 supporters took, and his birthday celebration at the national theater.

		At second parliamentary election in 1992 his party barely got over election margin, but already third parliamentary elections in 1995 showed that it was on the rise.
		War in Croatia was over then and the reality started t o show its revolting face of the ruling HDZ oligarchy characterised by unprecedented misuse of power, catastrophic privatisation that was destroying tens of thousands workplaces only to suck out the capital and to transfer it abroad and many corruption, financial and secret service scandals.
		In reality, if the elections were to be conducted on the original date, meaning July 4, it would be impossible for Putin to maintain over five months the fantastic level of public approval ratings that he has now, which are currently over 50 percent.

	Central Europe Review - Croatian News Review
		Croatia's Council for Co-operation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague believes that ICTY President Gabrielle Kirk McDonald's letter to the chairman of the United Nations Security Council was the result of a misunderstanding.
		"Although President McDonald accepted Croatia's position to extradite the suspected war criminal Mladen Naletilic-Tuta immediately and unconditionally as soon as the trial in Zagreb had ended, she maintains that Croatia is not co-operating with the ICTY as long as Naletilic is not extradited to the Tribunal," reads the Council's statement.
		Both parties expressed their satisfaction with the level of co-operation and discussed future projects, such as the expansion of the harbour of Rijeka for the use of Hungarian companies, completion of the construction of the Rijeka-Budapest motorway and the merger of the Hungarian oil company MOL with its Croatian counterpart INA.
