A survey of Croatian high school pupils showed that less than a third of the participants consider Croatia's World War II Nazi-allied state a fascist state and over half were either undecided or unwilling to give their opinion.

As work in Croatia on comprehensive reform of the curriculum appears to stall, some scientists say they fear the education system will be modernised in a conservative direction or abandoned altogether.  

Only a minority of high school seniors in Croatia consider the Croatian fascist puppet state in WW2, known as the Independent State of Croatia, or NDH, as truly fascist.

The findings come from the Zagreb Institute for Social Research, the NGO GONG and the civic GOOD Initiative.
