		The 1990 election in Croatia, then a republic of Yugoslavia, produced a landslide victory for the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ), led by Dr. Franjo Tudjman, a former communist general turned nationalist dissident.
		Throughout the 1990s, Croatian political life was dominated by the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ), which was largely the political machine of strongman Franjo Tudjman.
		Racan was actually the last Croatian communist leader, but he has succeeded in transforming the Social Democratic Party, the successor to the Yugoslav-era League of Communists, into a progressive, center-left party.

		By putting out the request for "the territorial integrity of the Croatian people in its historic and natural borders", Tudjman said that by this it is meant that according to its present-day constitution, Bosnia-Herzegovina is also the State of the Croatian people.
		Many Croatian schools have been renamed after him and the Croatian "newspeak" is being created according to his teachings from the time of the Independent State of Croatia of Ante Pavelic so as to establish and emphasize its separateness from the Serbian language.
		The most evident example of this is the latest Croatian aggression against the Republic of Serbian Krajina and the mass exodus of the Serbian people from this region, the largest in the last five years of the systematic persecution and extermination.

	The Nationalism Project: Competing National Ideologies Introduction
		By incorporating movements that emerge from a democratic, fascist and communist state system, I wanted to test the dynamic and cyclical paradigm within these three unrelated systems, except of course in the nature of their battle against perceived ethnic centralist elites, so as to demonstrate the ubiquitous nature of parallel, and interdependent, centre-periphery development.
		This, allows all three to be perceived in terms of protest communities that have continuously redefined and reshaped their notions of community and identity in terms of the dynamic development of state and peripheral elites.
		It is, therefore, a protest community that is in a state of continuous mobilisation within a given historic paradigm, that has as its main goal the attainment of statehood for the community it represents.

		The painlessness of this act of separation can be attributed in large part to the homogeneity of the population (91% Slovenian, 3% Croatian and 2% Serbian) and to Slovenia’s desire to join the rest of Europe.
		Croatia, whose independence was recognized by the European Community (EC) on 15 January 1992, therefore found itself in a dilemma: one-quarter of its territory was occupied by Serbian forces belonging to the self-proclaimed Republic of Krajina.
		The only region that the Croatian forces did not have to take by force was the eastern region, which was finally re-incorporated on 15 January 1998.

		All are guaranteed equality with the citizens of Croatian nationality in practising their national right in accordance with democratic norms of the UN and the other free countries.ä So, in the Constitution of the Republic of Croatia from 1990, the Muslims were mentioned as a separate autochthonous national minority living in Croatia.
		Namely, the Islamic Community has offered its own set of proposed contracts with the state, but has not yet received a reply from the relevant institutions, the State Committee for Relations with Religious Communities to be precise.
		Certain representatives of the Islamic Community point out that when workers are laid off, Bosniacs are underprivileged, but I think this is something that should by all means be verified because in the complex economical situation Croatia is in now, a lot of people have lost their jobs.

		Until now the far-right Croatian Democratic Community, HDZ, has failed to damage the moderate government of Prime Minister Ivica Racan which took power in Croatia following the death of former president Franjo Tudjman.
		Because funding for the HDZ has all but dried up in Croatia, it is believed the party saw the Mostar bank as its main source of cash to contest the May 20 ballot.

	The Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina
		Although the Croatian Democratic Community of Bosnia-Herzegovina (HDZ-BiH) was internally divided between a pro-Bosnian faction led by Stjepan Kljuic and a pro-Croatian (read secessionist) faction led by Mate Boban, both factions supported an independent Bosnia either as an end in itself or as a means to an end, respectively.
		Parallel to the Serbian actions, the Boban faction of the HDZ-BiH established both the Croatian Community of Bosnian Sava Valley in central Bosnia on 12 November 1991 and the Croatian Community of Herceg-Bosna -- which included thirty municipalities in both western Herzegovina and the Posavina region of northeast Bosnia -- on 18 November 1991.

		A further disappointment during the course of 2001 was the lackluster performance of Bosnia’s first postwar government not led by avowedly nationalist parties, the ten-party coalition named the “Alliance for Change.” In the predominantly Serb entity of Bosnia, the Republika Srpska (RS), meanwhile, instability caused by unstable political alliances also proved to be the rule.
		The DPA also gave the international community a decisive role in running post-Dayton Bosnia-Herzegovina, manifested in the significant powers and authorities granted to international civilian agencies such as the Office of the High Representative (OHR) and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).
