IN ENGLISH: Political knowledge and democratic attitudes are recognized in contemporary studies as important dimensions of democratic political culture. Furthermore, knowledge and attitudes can be seen as integral parts of political competence. Unlike other dimensions of political culture such as, for example, political participation, political interest, etc., research on political knowledge and democratic attitudes are more an exception than a rule. This assessment is especially true for Croatia. In this paper, we attempt to address some of these gaps by focusing on the exploration of political competences of Croatian final-year secondary school students. The paper is divided into two major sections. In the first part, we discuss the meaning and importance of political competence for the functioning of democratic political systems. The second part consists of a presentation and discussion of the research results on political knowledge and democratic attitudes of Croatian final-year secondary school students conducted in three time points - 2010, 2015 and 2021. By doing so, we want to detect the levels of political knowledge and democratic attitudes, as well as the possible changes that occurred in these levels during the research period. Finally, we are also interested in the relationship between these two dimensions of political competence. --------------- IN CROATIAN: U suvremenim studijama, političko znanje i demokratski stavovi prepoznati su kao važne dimenzije demokratske političke kulture. Štoviše, znanje i stavovi mogu se promatrati kao integralni dijelovi političke kompetencije. Za razliku od drugih dimenzija političke kulture kao što su, primjerice, politička participacija, politički interes i sl., istraživanja političkih znanja i demokratskih stavova više su iznimka nego pravilo. Ova ocjena posebno vrijedi za Hrvatsku. U ovom radu pokušavamo adresirati neke od nedovoljno istraženih tema, fokusirajući se na istraživanje političkih kompetencija hrvatskih učenika završnih razreda srednjih škola. Rad je podijeljen u dva dijela. U prvom dijelu raspravljamo o značenju i važnosti političke kompetencije za funkcioniranje demokratskih političkih sustava. Drugi dio sastoji se od prezentacije i rasprave o rezultatima istraživanja političkih znanja i demokratskih stavova hrvatskih učenika završnih razreda srednjih škola provedenog u tri vremenske točke - 2010., 2015. i 2021. Time želimo detektirati razine političkog znanja i prihvaćanja demokratskih stavova, kao i moguće promjene koje su se dogodile u pogledu te dvije dimenzije političke kompetencije tijekom istraživanog razdoblja. Konačno, zanima nas i odnos između ove dvije dimenzije političke kompetencije.
