	MASARYK AND THE CROATS (Site not responding. Last check: )
		While they were defeated at Kosovo (1389) and resumed their resistance only at the beginning of the nineteenth century, on the contrary, the Croats continued their patriotic and Christian struggle even after their defeat at Krbava (1492); together with the Magyars and Austrians, they were for long centuries a bastion of Christianity against the infidels.

	EOL 3/Pettan: The Croats and the question of their Mediterranean musical identity
		Beginning in the late 1980s, changing power relations in Europe, linked to integration of some countries, as well as to disintegration of other countries and of a major political-military alliance, largely contributed to identity becoming one of the central issues in social sciences and humanities in the 1990s.
		Although in historical perspective their contacts with the West reflected changing political and ideological circumstances and events, modern Croats tend to interpret centuries of political union with the West (Hungary and Austria) in positive light (Jelavich 1990), while the East appears to them as a source of threat and negative cultural traits.
		It may be an intriguing question why the Croats in Janjevo decided to express their musical uniqueness in Kosovo by forming a Dalmatian type of ensemble, and not, e.g., a tamburica ensemble which elsewhere increasingly serves as an all-Croatian national musical symbol.
