[No title] Indeed, the Croats had won the majority of votes within Mostar, but the results from the refugees' ballots in Europe tilted the balance in favor of the Muslim-dominated List of Citizens for a United Mostar of east Mostar Mayor Safet Orucevic. The new city council would now be composed of 16 Croats (all members of the HDZ), 16 Muslims and five people of "other nationality." Since the HDZ received all Croat seats, the remaining 21 seats all went to Orucevic's list.

CSP - Major Episodes of Political Violence, 1946-2006 The "begin" and "end" years listed for each episode (below) are those considered by the author to be those most likely to capture the transformative "moments" (beginning and ending) of the episodes, according to a comparison of the varying claims of the sources noted. The number listed represents a scaled indicator of the destructive impact, or magnitude, of the violent episode on the directly-affected society or societies on a scale of 1 (smallest) to 10 (greatest). Countries intervening in the episodes are not listed as the violence does not take place on their territory and, so, these intervening actors are considered to be indirectly, or remotely, affected by the violence. members.aol.com /CSPmgm/warlist.htm   (1084 words)

LINGUIST List 2.815: Croatian, Serbian and Dialects   (Site not responding.

Croats are Catholics and were part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. www.linguistlist.org /issues/2/2-815.html   (1109 words)

The Tractor of No Return When attempts of evictions of the Croats (and there were incidents in almost all places with ethnically mixed population) had died down in a sense, the lucid and witty leader of the League of Social Democrats of Vojvodina, Nenad Canak, offered one of the possible solutions for easing ethnic tensions. According to testimonies of a woman from Ruma, where militia prevented physical maltreatment and evictions of the Croats from their houses, some refugees from Knin said that they had been specifically told back in Krajina that they would be going to Ruma, a part called Breg, where there were Croat houses for them.

Croatia . Enpsychlopedia A tribe of Croats came to the Roman provinces of Dalmatia and Pannonia in the 7th century and was ultimately assimilated into the larger native Illyro-Roman and recently arrived Slavic population which took the same name. Shortly thereafter, this joint state entered into a union with Serbia to form the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, which eventually became Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1929. When the Axis powers were defeated in Croatia by the anti-fascists, the State Anti-Fascist Council of People's Liberation of Croatia (ZAVNOH) declared the People's Republic of Croatia, which became one of the six socialist republics within federal Yugoslavia. enpsychlopedia.org /psypsych/Croatia   (2272 words)

Neglect of Mesić and Sanader extends EU entry ban – NACIONAL This decision is particularly scandalous for the Croats on this list, particularly since the arrest of Ante Gotovina, it has been clear that these five men played no role in hiding the fugitive general in Croatia, as ICTY Chief Prosecutor Carla Del Ponte repeatedly claimed. The famous “fl list” of persons banned from entering the EU has been criticized from its very inception in Croatia, as well as in other countries where experts have warned that this is an unusual EU measure which has no clear legal justification. It is interesting that not a single Croat off the list ever received written notice or any document informing them of the ban, and many EU countries never actively enforced the ban, such that several of these men have travelled to and from the EU Member States without any difficulties. www.nacional.hr /articles/view/24131   (1282 words)
