	Top Croat Army Suspects Surrender - International Justice - Global Policy Forum
		Croatian generals Ivan Cermak and Mladen Markac were solemn-faced and dressed in fl suits when they appeared before the Hague tribunal on March 12.

	New Wave of Media Supression in Croatia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Reporteurs sans Frontiers called for international appeals to be sent to the Croatian government, citing the amendments as, "a serious infringement of press freedom" which would allow "authorities to carry out legal proceedings against journalists quite easily and unjustly" (open letter to the Croatian government, RSF 14 March 1996).
		Those in control of the Croatian government may think that they have a substantial amount to lose in terms of power, influence, and even wealth, if the media is not controlled and censored.
		While government leaders may retain their power with the help of a suppressed, controlled media, it is the people of Croatia who will ultimately lose their dream of a democratic, open society if a free and independent press is not allowed to flourish.

		It was the Croatian War of Secession (or The Homeland War, as Croatians call it) that spawned the term "ethnic cleansing," saw the first mention of "Greater Serbian aggressors," provoked the UN arms embargo against former Yugoslavia and caused the war in Bosnia.
		Fact is, even though the new government is abolishing the outward excesses of Tudjman’s regime — such as the renaming of one of the main squares and the soccer team in the capital, Zagreb — it retains much of its nationalist rhetoric and symbolism.
		The government, for its part, has responded by accusing the HDZ of "trying to stage a coup," and calling on the citizens’ sense of patriotism.

	Welcome to Croatian Chronicle!
		The first-ever meeting of Croatian entrepreneurs and business people from around the world, totaling about 300 in all, assembled in the Cleveland suburb of Eastlake, Ohio, to take part in the Croatian World Summit of Business Leaders.
		Novak was obviously pleased with the support the summit received from the Croatian government, evidenced by the attendance at the event of a number of ministers and other officials from Croatia, most of whom gave presentations.
		In the final analysis of the first Croatian World Summit of Business Leaders, if nothing else, it provided a venue and a meeting place for business people of Croatian descent and origin to exchange ideas and formulate their own investment and business plans in Croatia, and perhaps even among themselves outside Croatia.

		The Government of Croatia had complied with that request within the established time-limit and its report on measures taken to prevent criminal acts perpetrated in violation of human rights and freedoms in the Republic of Croatia was now before the Committee, together with some other material which the Government had provided.
		That policy of the Croatian Government was an expression of its awareness of the importance of human rights, its willingness to promote them and achieve the highest international standards, and its desire to become an equal member of the international community meeting all its human rights requirements.
		It was stated in the Government's report that the appropriate authorities took all measures within their competence designed to prevent conduct by certain individuals that might lead to forced departures or prevention of return of any section of the population.

	Croatia Letter of Intent and Memorandum of Economic and Financial Policies, January 31, 2001
		In particular, the government raised the income tax threshold (to raise net wages), reduced the employer's share of social security contributions (to lower nonwage labor costs), lengthened the collection lag for the value-added tax (to improve enterprise liquidity), and provided tax holidays and employment subsidies (to stimulate investment and employment).
		The government intends to further reduce the deficit of the consolidated central government from an expected 6½ percent of GDP in 2000 to 5¼ percent in 2001.
		While the devolution of part of social spending is neutral on the consolidated central government balance, the transfer of spending on roads to a separate agency is estimated to improve this balance by 0.6 percent of GDP in 2001, in part reflecting the fact that foreign-financed road construction was deferred from 2000 to 2001.

		Collaborationist Croatian government, comprised of neo-communists and plain opportunists, has also proved to be eager to assist Carla Del Ponte in all her demands.
		Croatian government, in particular, uses The Hague's tribunal to pursue its own opportunist agendas without concern for real lives and real justice.
		Carla Del Ponte supports Croatian government (which is eager to get the seat in European parliament and avoid the accountability for failed electoral promises in Croatia) so that Croatia may enter the EU.

	History of Croatia - Croatian History
		On Oct. 29, 1918, the Croatian diet broke off all ties with Hungary and Austria and proclaimed an independent Croatia which entered into a state union with other South Slav provinces of the empire, to be governed by a national council.
		Croatians began to agitate for greater autonomy as they saw their tourist revenues being used to stamp out Croatian nationalism.
		The most serious challenge to the system during Tito's lifetime was probably the Croatian Spring or Mass Movement of the late 1960s, which was ended by the removal by Tito of most of the Croatian leadership in late 1971, and a parallel removal of accused nationalists in Serbia, Slovenia and Macedonia.

	Croatia Myth&Reality: The Croatian coat of arms is a fascist symbol

		Croatians have debated for generations whether the first of the twenty-five fields should be in white or red.
		The new Croatian government retained the traditional Croatian shield, red field first, with a five pointed crown representing the coats-or-arms of five of Croatia's historical regions.

	JURIST Croatia - Croatian law, legal research, human rights
		The Croatian Government generally respected the human rights of its citizens and there were some improvements during 2001; however, serious problems remained.
		The Government continued to arrest and charge persons for war crimes committed during the 1991-95 conflicts in Bosnia and Croatia, and the problem of arrests of ethnic Serbs for war crimes despite extremely weak evidence continued.
		Unlike the previous regime, the Government did not interfere politically in the editorial decisions of the media; however, at the local level, political pressure on the media continued, and an estimated 1,200 libel lawsuits against journalists remained pending due to backlogs in the judicial system.

		This all began with Ambassador Montgomeryâs statement on Croatian Television that he was very concerned that the Croatian government had not respected the Protocol which had been signed between Enron and HEP in Houston on June 8.
		According to their claims, the members of the Croatian government have often conducted themselves in an infinitely unprofessionally manner, in not answering questions and phone calls, and not responding to suggestions to hold discussions.
		Had the Croatian government conducted itself correctly with respect to the American multi-national firms Enron and Bechtel, there would surely not be any uncertainty surrounding the state visit to the United States.

		US relations established with Croatian military personnel at the time were to prove useful subsequently in Washington’s equally underhand manoeuvres in Kosovo during and after the conflict with Serbia in 1999.

	Croatia Myth&Reality: All Croatian were fascists during World War II; All Serbs were pro-allied
		However, it was the Croatian dominated Partisans, led by the Croatian Josip Broz Tito which formed the only true anti-Fascist fighting force in Yugoslavia and the most formidable Allied force in occupied Europe during World War II.
		The Croatian government was led by Ante Pavelic and his Ustase movement.
		Although Mihailovic and his exiled government would maintain a fierce propaganda campaign to convince the Allies that his Cetniks were inflicting great damage on the Axis, the Cetniks did little for the war effort and openly collaborated with the Germans and Italians while fighting Ustase and Partizans.

	Croatia and Croats in "The New York Times" - The New York Times and the Croatian Government

		Their symbol was the letter "U" and their flag was the Croatian national flag with the letter "U" placed in its upper-left corner with the checkered shield in the middle).
