In November 1995, a group of thirteen founders led by Croatian scientist Prof. Ph.D. Nikola Cindro established the Croatian Nobility Association. From the beginning, the Association included descendants of noble families from Croatia's south (Dubrovnik, Split), central (Lika), around (Zagreb), and other historical regions.[2]
The Association's mission is to bring together all remaining descendants of Croatian nobility in order to maintain the historical tradition and patriotism. The organization has its own coat of arms and statute, and its headquarters are in Zagreb, with branches in Split, Osijek, and Zadar. The HPZ has the following organs: the Great Nobiliary Council, the Nobiliary Board, the Supervisory Board, the Court of Honor, and the Senate. Nikola pl. Cindro was the first president, followed by Ante pl. Rendić - Miočević and the late Ivo pl. Durbešić. Radovan Marjanović - Kavanagh is the current president, succeeding Marko Mladineo and acting Branko Cindro.
The Association has approximately 202 regular members who are descendants of sixty-two noble families.[2]
