Croatian Jurisprudence and Repopulation

The practical problem of this study is the adverse impact of the jurisprudence of the Higher Administrative Court (HAC) and the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Croatia (CCRC) on the termination of social benefits for parents educators, i.e., parents rearing several children, by the City of Zagreb. The study identifies the constitutional and/or jus cogens provisions in accord with the postulated values; describes the decisions on parents educators and appraises the decisions as tending towards, against, or past the constitutional and/or jus cogens principles; explains the decisions; forecasts probable future decisions, and proposes alternative decisions that are more in conformity with the constitutional and/or jus cogens principles.
