Summary: The research will encompass a reading of significant determinants of Croatian identity: in religious affiliation, shrines and religious formation; in individual motivation towards various literary and visual arts and personal design of articles and symbols of national identity; in perception of subjectivity relating to public law, basic political institutions and principles of society; and finally the contribution of Croatians to Western European culture.

Keywords: Culture, community, culturl identity, political subjectivitiy, values

Research goals: The primary goal of the research is to determine the particular characteristics of the Croatian cultural (ethnic) community and its political subjectivity - through which Croatians create a particular and special cultural community, that is, the elements of Croatian culture that make it particular and differentiate it from others, and through which the Croatian people maintained their identity through history. This research will also determine which institutions and customs enabled the continuity of Croatian culture as a political subject in history. Based upon a clear perspective of Croatian cultural identity and factors which enabled the survival of the Croatian community through history, this research will determine what significant characteristics must be nurtured and protected for the future of the Croatian community - what direction political aspirations, educational policy, and various religious manifestations should take, as well as the preservation of appropriate institutions and related customs.
