	The Croats of Kosovo are moved to Lika [Free Republic] (Site not responding. Last check: )
		According to the Croat newspapers they were unhappy that they could not transport with them their church, Notre Dame de Letnica.
		Besides, the policy of the Croat government, which has a constitutional obligation to help all of the Croats in the world, is to create an ethnically pure Croatia and to oblige all Croats to return to Croatia, whether they come from Australia or Kosovo.
		They have thus uncovered a politcal scheme to resettle the Croats of Kosovo in two apartment houses in Srb, given that the appartment houses were not available for the resettling of Bosnian Croats because the formerly Serb appartments were extensively damaged in operation STORM.

	Evil of the great spleen - HERCEG BOSNA :: Croats of Bosnia and Herzegovina ::
		Not even the fact that specifically Croat terms7 were used for Bosniaks-Muslims, their language and land during the Ottoman times can't be used as a convincing argument to consider them as an integral part of Croatian nation "led astray" by deceptions and ironies of history.
		Croat historian Muzic rejects the hypothesis that Bosnian "heretics" converted to Islam en masse, because there were so few of them at the time-hence, no "masse" was available.

	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.
