	Dobroslav Paraga - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		In his early days Dobroslav Paraga used to advocate secession of Croatia from Yugoslavia and that led him to be persecuted by Communist authorities.
		Paraga and HSP had high hopes of becoming the major political factor before 1992 presidential and parliamentary elections, but those hopes, despite HSP colourful rallies being well-attended, didn't materialised in desired result.
		Another blow came in the form of high treason charges against Paraga and his associate Anto Dapic, who were stripped of their parliamentary immunity.

		Paraga claims that these events constitute a violation of article 19 of the Covenant, since the measures against him were aimed at restricting his freedom of expression.

		Paraga's arrest was conducted legally, in accordance with the Criminal Procedures Act in force at the time and that, therefore, the Republic of Croatia did not violate Article 9, paragraph 1, of the Covenant.

	Dobroslav Paraga, President
		Paraga was sentenced to three years imprisonment by the court of Zagreb under the official charges of discrediting Yugoslavia and so-called enemy activity.
		Paraga first traveled to Toronto, Canada, in May of 1989, leading a massive demonstration for the release of Janez Jansa, a Slovenian publicist and later the Minister of Defense of the independent Slovenia.
		Paraga was arrested under false accusations again in November of 1991 for preparing the overthrow of the government of Croatia.

	Croatian Party of Rights - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His successor and former party vice president Dobroslav Paraga, who had also run afoul of the Yugoslav Communist authorities in the early 1980s, found himself in a power struggle with his deputy, Anto Đapić.
		Paraga and Đapić fought a legal battle for the right to use the party name, a dispute that Paraga eventually lost.
		Paraga later formed the Croatian Party of Rights 1861 (HSP 1861) but by this time he was already politically marginalized.

	BALKAN MEDIA & POLICY MONITOR
		Paraga actually accused the Croatian president for the ?preparation, organization and conduct of an aggression against BiH, agreed in Kardjordjevo with Slobodan Milosevic concerning the division of BiH?.
		Paraga did not stop with Tudjman: he also asked for the indictments against Gojko Susak, Croatian defence minister, as well as Mladen Nletilic Tuta, Bruno Stojic, Valentin Coric, Merim Delijasevic and Ivan Andabak, that is, the exponents of the HDZ policies in Bosnia.
		It will be interesting though to see what will happen during the Zagreb trial, because it is almost more than certain that Cicak and Paraga will come in front of the court with their strongest, to the public still unknown arguments.

		Paraga, in turn, accused the police for the murder of his friend, which could not be established.
		Paraga, however, could not be unnerved and he has probably concluded again that he has been presented with a message from heaven which he interpreted in a way that suited him the most.
		Dobroslav Paraga, the president of the Croatian Rights Party, previously known as the world fighter for human rights is bound to think that his rights have once again been violated.

	Jurisprudence - CCPR - Croatia - Paraga v. Croatia
		Paraga himself does not claim a violation of article 2(1) in relation to the prohibition of discrimination (including discrimination on the basis of his political opinion) in connection with the rights allegedly violated.
		Paraga does not claim a violation of article 26 on any of the grounds listed therein, what he claims to have been violated here is the right to property, which is not protected by the Covenant and a violation of which thus cannot be considered by the Committee.
		Paraga do not appear to constitute in themselves a violation of the Covenant, nor can they be interpreted as an affirmation, by act or clear implication, of the alleged previous violations of the State party.

	<nettime> An Ivo-gram
		Paraga's accusations may sound bizzare to a westerner, not acustomed to this type of talk among members of parliament, but in Croatia it is quite common: after all the HDZ spokesman of Croatian Parliament, Krpina, just accused leader of social-democrats (Racan) of selling drugs (literally).
		So, Paraga said in an interview to "Jutarnji List" that he is going to file a complaint in court against Manolic for Manolic's responsibility in poisoning of Stepinac.
		Paraga's attorney promptly asked that judge be dismissed (prejudice against one of the parties).

	2001/01/13 02:04 Rumours of The Hague Investigations Spreading
		As Paraga sometimes tends to give “tabloid” information — strong declarations with no foundation in verified information — this one was also received with suspicion at first, until one of the listed men confirmed that it was founded.
		Thanks to this Paraga’s snowball started to grow, so Republika daily published that Croatian Government had received a letter from The Hague in which interest was expressed for fifty persons from the former state leadership with whom Franjo Tudjman could have elaborated the strategy of ethnic cleansing of the Serb population in Croatia.
		Another person from Paraga’s list launched the same investigation, Franjo Greguric who was the president of the coalition government of democratic unity which was in power in the first year of the 1991-95 war and which is linked to a part of the crimes against Serb population which The Hague is interested in.

	December 2, 1991. Vreme News Digest Agency No 10
		The same day Dobroslav Paraga, the President of the Croatian Rights Party and his deputy Milan Vukovic were apprehended.
		The opposition parties saw this latest move of the SSC to be the overstepping of their authority, while the radical critics at the SSC see it only as "a pretext for the already assumed authority" on the part of the President of the Republic "whose constitutional authority is already overwhelming".
		Paraga himself claims that accusing him of being an ustasha is cynical, since many more members of the ruling party wear letter U (for "ustashe") on their uniforms than the members of his party.

		A former seminary student and dissident under the communist regime in Croatia in the1980s, Paraga believed that Serbia was a mortal danger to Croatian national survival, and he called for the creation of a “Greater Croatia” that would include much of Serbia and all of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
		In the same year, Paraga was brought to trial for having allegedly plotted a coup, though he was later acquitted.

	History and Program
		In 1990, under their leadership, the HSP was the only political party and organised force in Croatia whose platform and activity uncompromisingly advocated a break from Yugoslavia, the re-establishment of Croatia' state independence, and the unification of the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina on the basis of a referendum.
		At Dobroslav Paraga's initiative, the Croatian Party of Rights in 1991 formed the Croatian Defence Forces (HOS), which during the Greater Serbia aggression resolutely and bravely defended the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of BH.
		The HSP leadership and its legitimate president Dobroslav Paraga were forced in 1995 to register the Croatian Party of Rights – 1861 as the successor of Dr. Ante Starčević's Party of Rights and the upholders of its ideology and policy.

	1996/10/30 23:32 OPPOSITION COALITION IS FALLING APART
		This was done after this party was left without its only deputy in the Assembly, but Paraga himself claims that he was removed because he had been the only really radical critic of the HDZ and that he started being in the way of the coalition, primarily of the Chairman of the Assembly, Zdravko Tomac.
		The second brick from what used to be a monolithic wall was removed when Josip Manolic stepped out of the coalition, this time for reasons contrary to those of Paraga, since he believes that it is unnecessarily doing things just to spite the HDZ concerning the post of the mayor.
		It partly uses the same arguments as Paraga, but with a lot of indications that its ultimate motives are contrary and in fact close to those of Manolic.

		One thing Paraga and I have in common: we like the same suite at the Belvedere Hotel in Split.
		There was a UNHCR official who rented it when she was in town, and Andrew Hogg of the London Sunday Times also liked it, as did Askold of the European.
		Once I entered the hotel lobby and Paraga was standing at the reception desk.

		While the press has been the main target of the state prosecutor, he has also brought court proceedings against two political thorns in the government's side.
		Dobroslav Paraga, the right-wing leader of the Croatian party of Rights, is threatened with prosecution for stating that the president [Tudjman] gave up part of eastern Croatia during European Community-sponsored negotiations in the Hague.
		Milorad Pupavac, leader of an alliance of moderate Croatian Serbs seeking to forge links with liberal members of the government, is under investigation for claiming that up to 11,000 Serbian children in Croatian schools, generally Ortodox Christians, are being pressured to take Chatolic catechism and convert to Catholicism.

	Ante Prkačin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1992, when the war escalated in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Prkačin took part as a leader of HSP militia Croatian Defence Forces (Hrvatske obrambene snage, HOS) and had close co-operation with government of Alija Izetbegovic.
		Upon his return to Croatia, he began to distance himself from Dobroslav Paraga and spent the rest of his Sabor days as independent representative.
		In 2000 he ran for Croatian President, finishing 7th in first round of the vote.

		The HSP is led by Dobroslav Paraga, who was formerly a militant student of human rights, several times imprisoned under Tito' s regime.5 The HSP claims itself as the heir to the nationalist Ustache movement.
		Paraga had previously been arrestedon 22November 1991 with his assistant Milan Vukovic after the commander of the defence of Vukovar (lieutenant-colonel Mile Dedakovic) had criticised the laxity of the government regarding the organisation of Vukovar's defence.

	Croatian Message Board: Re: Thompson - domoljub ili faÂist?
		You can't distance yourself from the Ustase or any Croatian army because you have to believe in what they were doing was right otherwise don't use the phrase Za Dom Spremni(because it was basically made popular by the Ustase).
		Also switching allegiances from Paraga to Tudjman is not a small shift.
		One was in favour of an independant Croatia within Tito's redrawn borders and possibly a splitting of Bosna i Hercegovina.

		Just because John Ashcroft wears an American flag on his lapel doesnÂ’t mean heÂ’s a patriot and not a dangerous extremist.
		I remember Thompson performing for American Croats in 1992 supporting Dobroslav Paraga and HSP and speaking out against Tudjman and HDZ.
		Just because John Ashcroft : wears an American flag on his lapel doesnÂ’t : mean heÂ’s a patriot and not a dangerous : extremist.

	CER \| Croatia: the violent streets
		An Egyptian Islamic militant group has denied involvement in another recent violent attack in Zagreb, a bomb placed at the town hall.
		Dobroslav Paraga, head of the extreme Croatian Party of Rights-1861 (HSP-1861), told the newspapers that he received a telephone call from someone who said he was from the group Jamaa Islamiya, who claimed responsibility for planting the device.
		In the bomb attack last week, no one was injured but 12 cars were damaged in the car park.

	CHRISTOPHER A LONG - Bosnian Muslim Reactions 1992 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Now that both the Serbs and the Croats see the Muslims as a stumbling block to their deal and to their hopes for territorial gain, the only allies the Muslims can count on are, paradoxically, the Croatian neo-facist HOS paramilitaries under the leadership of Dobroslav Paraga.
		But, surprise, surprise, Mr Paraga, who would love to drive the Serbs out of Bosnia-Hercegovina altogether, thus incidentally giving the Muslims some hope, has been charged with serious crimes in Zagreb and his dogs-of-war put on a tight leash.
		Not surprising therefore that the Muslims see themselves deserted and alone – betrayed by EC Monitors and UN troops who duly observed the ethnic cleansing and the atrocities but did not help.

		The Los Angeles Times reports on 22 February on the Croatian visit of EU external affairs commissioner Hans van den Broek, which is one of a series of high-level contacts underway or soon to take place between Zagreb and Brussels or Strasbourg.
		This view was echoed by Dobroslav Paraga, the leader of the right- wing Croatian Party of [Historic] Rights.
		Nasa Borba quotes him as saying that "the departure of UNPROFOR from the occupied territories would just be the lead-in to a big war with the Krajina Serbs, who would be backed by Karadzic's Bosnian Serbs, and then the [rump] Yugoslav army." -- Patrick Moore, OMRI, Inc.

	Green Left - Right-wing regime multiplies Croatia's misery
		After the last PEN congress in Rio de Janeiro, a witch-hunt was conducted against five critical women journalists, four of whom later lost their jobs.
		The HDZ is a centre-right party; there are several parties further to the right, such as Dobroslav Paraga's HSP.
		Several of these parties have their own militias and have been involved in killings and other violent incidents.

	Yugoslavia - The United States
		Tension rose in 1989, when resolutions of the United States Congress condemned Yugoslav human rights policies and were labeled as uninformed interference in internal Yugoslav affairs.
		The stimulus for this disagreement was Yugoslav policy toward Dobroslav Paraga, an exiled Croatian separatist who became a leader of extremist emigrés in North America.
		On an official visit to the United States following that exchange, Prime Minister Markovic explained Yugoslav reform and human rights policies, and U.S. officials urged that Yugoslavia follow the contemporary reform pattern of other East European communist countries.

		Except for a few insignificant groups loyal to President Franjo Tudjman's Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ), most political parties have criticised the deal.
		The Croatian Party of Right (HSP), led by Dobroslav Paraga, openly rejects it and demands its annulment by the Constitutional Court.
		The main objection to the agreement is that it says nothing about Serbian aggression against Croatia and compensation for war damages.
