  • Croatia 2016 International Religious Freedom Report
    CROATIA 2016 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution provides for freedom of religious thought and expression and prohibits incitement of religious hatred. Registered religious groups are equal under the law and free to publicly conduct religious services and open and manage schools and charitable organizations with assistance from the state. The government has four written agreements with the Roman Catholic Church that provide state financial support and other benefits, while the law accords other registered religious groups the same rights and protections. In April, government ministers attended the annual commemoration at the site of the World War II (WWII)-era Jasenovac death camp. Jewish and Serb (largely Orthodox) leaders boycotted the event and held their own commemorations, saying the government had downplayed the abuses of the WWII-era Nazi-aligned Ustasha regime. A talk show host warned people to stay away from an area in Zagreb where a Serbian Orthodox Church (SOC) was located, saying “Chetnik vicars” would murder innocent bystanders. Spectators at a soccer match against Israel chanted pro-fascist slogans used under the WWII-era, Nazi-aligned Ustasha regime while the prime minister and Israeli ambassador were in attendance. Director Jakov Sedlar screened the Jasenovac – The Truth documentary which questioned the number of killings at the camp, inciting praise and criticism. SOC representatives expressed concern over a perceived increase in societal intolerance. The SOC estimated 20 incidents of vandalism against SOC property. The U.S. embassy continued to encourage the government to restitute property seized during and after WWII, especially from the Jewish community, and to adopt a claims process for victims.

  • The Dissonant Heritage of the Blessed Alojzije Stepinac: the Case of the Silencing of a Religious Tourist Route
    Belaj The Dissonant Heritage of the Blessed Alojzije Stepinac: The Case of the Silencing of a Religious Tourist Route Marijana Belaj University of Zagreb Croatia Abstract A religious tourist route, the Stepinac Path (Croatia), is a project designed to connect four mnemonic sites related to selected parts of the Blessed Alojzije Stepinac’s biography. The proj- ect follows the European model of the Camino de Santiago. The Stepinac Path includes the reconstruction of several old pilgrimage paths leading to the national pilgrimage shrine of Our Lady in Marija Bistrica. It was also conceived to be incorporated into a wider network of Croatian and international Marian pilgrimage paths. The project was created and is managed by various tourism institutions, with the aim of heritagizing the figure of Alojzije Stepinac by highlighting several aspects of his life. However, the phrase “the heritage of the Blessed Alojzije Stepinac” is mostly promoted by the Catholic Church in Croatia, emphasizing the religious aspect of his legacy. The complex power relations between religious and heritage politics have pushed the Stepinac Path project’s implementation into a silent phase. Without the proper sup- port of the Catholic Church in Croatia, the project has little public recognition and momentum has slowed. This paper examines the Stepinac Path’s silencing in terms of dissonant heritage policies and heritagization processes in political, religious, and economic discourses and power relations. Keywords: dissonant heritage; heritagization; the Blessed Alojzije Stepinac; the Stepinac Path Introduction religious tourist route, the Stepinac Path, is a project in northwest Croatia de- signed to revive old pilgrimage routes and to connect places that preserve the Blessed Alojzije Stepinac’s memory.

  • The Formation of Croatian National Identity
    bellamy [22.5].jkt 21/8/03 4:43 pm Page 1 Europeinchange E K T C The formation of Croatian national identity ✭ This volume assesses the formation of Croatian national identity in the 1990s. It develops a novel framework that calls both primordialist and modernist approaches to nationalism and national identity into question before applying that framework to Croatia. In doing so it not only provides a new way of thinking about how national identity is formed and why it is so important but also closely examines 1990s Croatia in a unique way. An explanation of how Croatian national identity was formed in an abstract way by a historical narrative that traces centuries of yearning for a national state is given. The book goes on to show how the government, opposition parties, dissident intellectuals and diaspora change change groups offered alternative accounts of this narrative in order to The formation legitimise contemporary political programmes based on different visions of national identity. It then looks at how these debates were in manifested in social activities as diverse as football and religion, in of Croatian economics and language. ✭ This volume marks an important contribution to both the way we national identity bellamy study nationalism and national identity and our understanding of post-Yugoslav politics and society.

  • The Catholic Church and Croatia's Two Transitions·
    Religion, State & Society, Vol. 30, No. 1,2002 The Catholic Church and Croatia's Two Transitions· ALEX J. BELLAMY The Roman Catholic Church in Croatia has received a considerable amount of criticism, both in Croatia and overseas, for its connection with the conservative nationalism of Franjo Tudjman's regime.2 For many, the church was a bastion of radical nationalism which promoted intolerance towards Croatia's Serbian minority and failed to speak out against human rights abuse. The church, they argued, promoted a neoconservative revolution dubbed 'retraditionalisation' by Croatian sociologist Josip Zupanov, which provided legitimisation for the Tudjman govern­ ment. Furthermore, the western media associated the church with Croatian crimes committed in Eastern Slavonia, Krajina and Bosnia and Hercegovina and emphasised the church's past connections with the fascist regime in Italy and the puppet regime created in Croatia during the Second World War which was responsible for the deaths of up to 600,000 Serbs, Jews, Gypsies and Croatian opponents. This article attempts to challenge this line of thinking by demonstrating the role of the Catholic Church in the two transitions which took place in Croatia during the 1990s. I argue that the church was split between the rural clergy and the urban leadership.' On the one hand there was the conservative nationalist rural clergy, which was indeed responsible for many of the affronts outlined above and discussed in greater detail below. On the other hand, however, the church hierarchy based in Zagreb opposed a narrow nationalist conception of the church's mission in newly independent Croatia. The church was a direct target for Serb propaganda and shells during the 1991-95 war and fulfilled a particular role during this time as a result.

  • A Report on Conferences with Roman Catbolic, Ortbodox, Moslem) Jewish
    RELIGION IN YUGOSLAVIA \ A report on conferences with Roman Catbolic, Ortbodox, Moslem) Jewish .and Protestant leaders, and investigations through the medium of religious institutions and documents. .YL:GOS LAV .3 .S::; W ASHll ,,;TON BY SEVEN AMERICAN PROTESTANT CLERGYMEN AND EDITORS OF RELIGIOUS JOURNALS WHO VISITED YUGOSLAVIA IN THE SUMMER OF 1947 PREFACE N presenting this report, we ask our readers to bear I certain basic facts in mind. The evidence here set forth, where space does not permit of lengthy quotation from the sustaining documents which are mentioned, is the result of our eye-witness investigation; it is not second-hand. There was available to us an enormous amount of corroborating evidence, much of it from Americans and others who have lived in Yugoslavia for months or years, which we have not included in this report. The material on the status of religious life in Yugo­ slavia in no case came from the government but from personal interviews with leaders of churches in the four republics we visited-Roman Catholic, Serbian Orthodox, Jewish, Moslem and Protestant. Since we are all clergymen, and three of us editors of religious journals, it was both natural and sound procedure for us to seek our information on religious affairs from leaders in the field of religious life. We must emphasize in reference to what we say briefly about the case of Archbishop Stepinac that our sources of information were Roman Catholic-the most incriminating documents were the files of the Roman Catholic diocesan news­ papers, concerning the authenticity of which there can be no question-and while we found division of opinion among Catholics as to his conviction, many Catholic leaders frankly admitted the truth of the background data.
