WHICH LAW REGULATES CROATIAN CITIZENSHIP, ITS ACQUISITION AND LOSS CONDITIONS? Croatian citizenship, more precisely conditions for its acquisition and loss, is regulated by the Law on Croatian Citizenship (OG 53/91, 70/91, 28/92, 113/93, 4/94, 130/11, 110/15, 102/19, 138/21, hereinafter: the Law) which entered into force on October 8, 1991. This day is celebrated in the Republic of Croatia as a commemoration - the Day of the Croatian Parliament, in memory of the day when the Croatian Parliament in 1991 unanimously adopted a decision to break all state-legal ties of the Republic of Croatia with the former state of Yugoslavia. The Parliament determined that the Republic of Croatia no longer considers anybody of the former SFRY legitimate or legal, and that it does not recognize as valid any legal act of anybody that acts on behalf of the former federation, which no longer exists as such. This important decision of the Parliament was made after the three-month moratorium on the Croatian Constitutional decision on independence and sovereignty, which was adopted by the Parliament on June 25, 1991, had expired the day before.
