At the national level, the cultural policy system of Croatia is primarily determined by the Vlada Republike Hrvatske (Government of Croatia). The responsibilities for culture and heritage are divided among various government ministries. The Ministarstvo Kulture i Medija (Ministry of Culture and Media) is the main body responsible for formulating and implementing policies in the areas of culture, arts, and heritage. The Ministarstvo Gospodarstva i Ordživog Razvoja (Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development) also plays a role in heritage conservation, particularly in relation to natural heritage and its integration with cultural assets. The Hrvatski Restauratorski Zavod (Croatian Conservation Institute) as a central state agency is tasked with the preservation and restoration of cultural heritage, conducting research and providing expert guidance on conservation practices.
