Abstract

Odnos države i vjerskih zajednica opsežan je i kompleksan fenomen, a model financiranja vjerskih zajednica u pojedinoj državi ima jednu od ključnih uloga u definiranju toga odnosa. S obzirom na neistraženost navedenoga područja u akademskim krugovima ovaj politološki rad daje doprinos u problematiziranju navedene teme, kako kroz objedinjenu analizu dostupnih dokumenata i stručne literature, tako i kroz intervjuiranje predstavnika vjerskih zajednica.

U Republici Hrvatskoj prisutan je model separacije i kooperacije države i vjerskih zajednica u kojem se vjerske zajednice prema određenom ključu, sukladno potpisanim ugovorima sa državom, barem djelomično financiraju izravno iz proračuna. Temelj navedenih ugovora predstavlja Zakon o pravnom položaju vjerskih zajednica, koji se pak u najvećoj mjeri ne primjenjuje na Katoličku Crkvu, koja odnos sa Republikom Hrvatskom ima uređen primarno kroz međunarodne ugovore sa Svetom Stolicom.

Među predstavnicima vjerskih zajednica obuhvaćenim ovim radom ne postoji jedinstven stav o trenutnom modelu, pri čemu svi ukazuju na određene prednosti, ali i brojne mane istoga, te izražavaju skepsu u skore promjene.

Abstract (english)

The relationship between the state and religious communities is a comprehensive and complex phenomenon, and the religious communities funding model in a particular country has a key role in defining this relationship. Due to the lack of research of this topic in academic work, this paper contributes to the problematisation of the topic, through a comprehensive analysis of available documents and professional literature, as well as through interviews of representatives of religious communities.
In the Republic of Croatia, there is a model of separation and cooperation between the state and religious communities, in which religious communities are, in accordance with signed treaties with the state, funded directly from the state budget. The basis of the aforementioned treaties is the Law on the Legal Position of Religious Communities, which in the greatest extent does not apply to the Catholic Church that has arranged its relationship with the Republic of Croatia primarily through international treaties with the Holy See.
Among the representatives of the religious communities covered in this paper, there is no unique view on the current model, whereby all respondents point to certain advantages, but also numerous disadvantages of the same, and express skepticism on the future possible changes.
