Trenutak istine (English: The Moment of Truth) was a Croatian game show television series based on the American series The Moment of Truth. It was produced and broadcast by Nova TV. The series puts its participants to a polygraph test in order to reveal whether or not they are telling the truth for a chance to win a great prize of 500,000 HRK (c. €69,000). It was hosted by journalist Jasna Nanut.

The first season of the series debuted in September 2008 and was broadcast Tuesdays at 9 pm.[1] The second season premiered on 24 September 2009.[2]

The Serbian version, produced by RTV Pink and hosted by Tatjana Vojtehovski, carries the same name.[3] The top prize was 5,000,000 RSD (c. €50,000).

Reception

Trenutak istine gained significant attention in the Croatian media and was widely considered controversial during its run.[4][5][6] In February 2009, the Croatian Psychological Association started a petition to ban the show, describing it as exploitative and morally corrupting.[6] In November 2009, Nova TV was forced to broadcast the series after 10 pm when the Croatian Electronic Media Agency (Croatian: Agencija za elektroničke medije) determined the series is not appropriate to air in the earlier time slot it was originally allocated to.[7]
