This article problematizes the legal concept of so-called hate speech in order to contribute to current debates on this complex and omnipresent social phenomenon. Firstly, it refers to the provisions of various international human rights instruments relevant in the context of combating hate speech, providing general legal framework for the proper assessment of this issue. Then it discusses the legal concept of hate speech and certain controversies and difficulties involved. In particular, it points to the specific distinction that must be established and preserved between hate speech and other forms of hateful speech. Finally, the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights concerning hate speech is analyzed by providing relevant examples from its case-law. In this connection, certain serious deficiencies in the ECtHR hate speech jurisprudence are indicated and briefly explained.

In the last few years, the Croatian Constitutional Court delivered several important decisions that significantly shaped interpretative approaches to constitutional guarantee on the freedom of expression in the specific context of the public use of some symbols with contested meanings. Such developments undoubtedly deserve attention, especially in terms of particular tools that the Court used in defining limits to free speech. The primary focus of this article is directed to the issue of whether the use of contested symbols in public may be covered by constitutional free expression guarantees, and be therefore treated as the case of balancing process between them and some opposed interests, or it should be subjected to stricter prohibitions, including their complete ban. For those purposes, I am first presenting the relevant case-law of the Croatian Constitutional Court and then the cases already decided in a similar fashion by the European Court for Human Rights. In the final part I am presenting some personal views on how a further structured approach to constitutional interpretation in cases involving the use of contested symbols with historical meanings could possibly be construed in the Croatian context.

U ovom tekstu analiziramo empirijski hommage Štulhofera i Burića (2015, 2016) Županovljevoj teoriji o egalitarnom sindromu (TES). Pokazujemo da autori preskaču neke fundamentalne korake u dizajnu istraživanja, kao što je zahtjev da propozicije vlastite teze uklope u postojeće znanje o nekoj temi. Nadalje, autori ne vode dovoljno računa o implikacijama višedimenzionalnosti konstrukta TES za svoju konceptualizaciju, a ni prilikom odabira statističkih analiza. Pokazujemo zašto podatke koje imaju ne bi trebali koristiti za analize koje poduzimaju. Nasuprot tome, naša analiza percepcije legitimne razine dohodovne nejednakosti sugerira da smo u europskim i globalnim okvirima sasvim prosječno egalitarno orijentirani. Dapače, stanovnici Njemačke ili Švicarske više teže uravnilovci nego stanovnici Hrvatske. Ovaj nalaz dovodi u pitanje interpretacije prema kojima je zahtjev za smanjenjem dohodovne nejednakosti atavizam socijalističke prošlosti, kao i one koje tvrde da takvi zahtjevi koče razvoj društva. Uzevši u obzir sve navedeno, zaključujemo da egalitarni sindrom i dalje ostaje teorijska fantazija. Ključne riječi: teorija egalitarnog sindroma, modernizacijska teorija, dizajn istraživanja, dohodovna nejednakost, Hrvatska
在本文中,我们分析了Schtulhofer和Buric(20152016)对朱帕诺夫合法综合征(TES)理论的实证人文主义。我们表明,作者会跳过研究设计中的一些基本步骤,例如提出自己的主题以结合现有主题知识的要求。此外,作者在选择统计分析时,也没有充分考虑多维TES结构对其概念化的影响。Pokazujemo zašto podatke koje imaju ne bi trebali koristiti za analize koje poduzimaju。另一方面,我们对协议不平等合法程度的分析表明,我们在欧洲和全球框架中完全平等。德国或瑞士的人口比克罗地亚的人口更困难。这一发现涉及到要求减少协议不平等以再现社会主义历史的解释,以及那些声称这种要求是社会发展的人。考虑到以上所有因素,我们得出结论,平等主义综合症仍然是理论上的幻想。关键词:平等综合症理论、现代化理论、研究设计、协议不平等、克罗地亚

This article provides a preliminary overview of the perceptions of Bleiburg among Croats and Bosniaks in Bosnia-Herzegovina, as well as its role in the overall construction of cultural memory in this deeply divided post-Yugoslav state. The author explores how the remembrance of the Second World War in socialist Yugoslavia fragmented and was replaced by new, nationalist narratives among Serbs, Croats, and Bosniaks. The memory of Bleiburg plays a central role in the victimization narrative among Bosnian Croats, and their political leadership has been deeply involved in the commemorative practices related to the events in May 1945. Bosniaks, while primarily focusing on the continuity with the antifascist Partisan tradition, have increasingly opened up the question of communist crimes such as Bleiburg, albeit through the media and memoirs and not yet systematic academic analysis. The article also examines how the Bleiburg narrative is intertwined into the memory of the war in the 1990s, and more broadly how these memory politics are used by various actors in Bosnia-Herzegovina’s deeply divided society.
