	Croatia After Tudjman: Special Reports: Publications: U.S. Institute of Peace (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Croatia's future lies with Europe -- a future that is best secured by establishing a democratic government and ensuring economic stability and growth, and leaving the Croats of Bosnia and Herzegovina to define their future without Zagreb's constant intervention.
		Croatia has recently passed a reasonable program for refugee returns but has failed consistently to implement it, violating a fundamental tenet of the Dayton accords to which Croatia is a signatory.
		Croatia's democratic opposition and elements of the HDZ are willing to abandon Croatia's wartime territorial aspirations to concentrate on domestic democratic and economic reform, thereby loosening and even severing ties with Herzeg-Bosna.

	Homoseksuality
		While the establishment of the Republic of Croatia was meant to usher in a West European style liberal democracy, the authoritarian rule of Tudjman and his party, the Hrvatska demokratska zajednica (HDZ, Croatian Democratic Union), hindered the cultural, political and social progress of the gay and lesbian community in Croatia.
		To this day, most homosexuals in Croatia are unwilling to publicly come out, and when they do participate in interviews in the Croatian press or publish articles or books with a gay and lesbian theme, they conceal their identities by only giving their initials or a pseudonym.
		Another party, the Liberalna stranka (LS, Liberal Party), was the first to directly include homosexuals in its election campaign, which it did for the local elections of May 2001.

	Liberal Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Liberal Party is the name of dozens of political parties around the world.
		It usually designates a party that is ideologically liberal, meaning that they advocate individual rights and civil liberties, and sometimes left wing, meaning that they are egalitarian and believe in the redistribution of wealth from rich to poor.
		However, there are also many Liberal Parties which subscribe to classical liberalism and therefore support a mostly unregulated free market, or who are actually more conservative in nature than their opponents, or whose views are right wing, libertarian, or difficult to categorise.

	EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT Report on Croatia, March 2000
		The transition to a democratic state is proving slower and more problematic in Croatia than in neighbouring CEEC candidates for EU accession, partly due to the years of war and ethnic cleansing, and the lack of any solid experience of democracy before the war.
		Croatia justified its refusal by arguing that the operations concerned were internal police operations and that the ICTY was not competent to rule on them.
		Croatia also needed to improve its record with regard to respect for minorities and the return of refugees if it was to resume the right to fully enjoy the benefits of the PHARE programme.
