Mate Boban was ousted after the Croat-Bosniak war had engulfed what little of Bosnia-Herzegovina had been preserved, and after the Americans made it crystal clear that they had no intention of making peace with that particular individual.

Borba and Politika of 25 January explore the exchange between Croatian Upper House Speaker Josip Manolic and Herzegovinian Croat leader Mate Boban, in which Manolic recalled that Tudjman already 20 years ago favored massive transfers of Croats from central Bosnia to Croatia, a policy that Boban has supposedly embraced.
Tudjman and Boban are frequently accused of being sympathetic to or part of a Herzegovinian lobby that is insensitive to the concerns of Bosnian Croats, who make up 60% of the Croatian population of Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Manolic calls the abandonment of the Bosnian Croats and the support for the Herzegovinians, who are less inclined to get on with the Muslims, a "strategic mistake." Vecernji list and Vjesnik, meanwhile, run articles defending Zagreb's policies, arguing that Tudjman did all he could to compromise with the Muslims.
