  • Mark Cornwall LOYALTY and TREASON in LATE HABSBURG
    Mark Cornwall LOYALTY AND TREASON IN LATE HABSBURG CROATIA A Violent Political Discourse before the First World War In her famous work The Meaning of Treason, the novelist and journalist Re- becca West suggests that the concepts of loyalty and treachery are polar op- posites in human society: There is always loyalty, for men love life and cling together under the threats of the uncar- ing universe. So there is always treachery, since there is the instinct to die as well as the in- stinct to live; and as loyalty changes to meet the changing threats of the environment, so treachery changes also.1 This chapter analyses these shifting concepts of loyalty and treason (the polit- icizing of treachery) through a case study from Croatia in the early twentieth century. Late Habsburg Croatia, with its narrow political franchise—less than 2 % of the population—which existed alongside a burgeoning civil society, might rightly be imagined as a territory containing multiple and conflicting loyalties. There was Croatia’s complex ethnic and religious mixture (Croat and Serb, following Catholic, Orthodox and even Jewish faiths) and its sensi- tive geographical location on the Habsburg frontiers, where a military border against the Ottoman Empire had only been abolished in 1881. And not least, there existed historic ties which bound Croatia to both halves of the Habs- burg monarchy despite the dualist system that had existed since 1867. In 1868, Croatia, having been joined to Hungary for over seven hundred years, was uniquely given a degree of home rule, with its own government and par- liament (the Sabor) in Zagreb.

  • Croatia Is a Stable Democracy
    Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe Mission to Croatia F i e l d C e n t r e V u k o v a r Public Affairs Unit Glas Slavonije / Friday, 28 May 2004 / page 7 Interview with Alessandro Fracassetti, OSCE Mission to Croatia Spokesperson Croatia is a stable democracy The visit by Alessandro Fracassetti, Head of the Public Affairs Unit of the OSCE Mission to Croatia, to Osijek and Glas Slavonije newsroom yesterday was used as an opportunity to discuss Croatia’s democratic progress, the return of Serb refugees, respect of minority rights and Croatia’s prospects in joining the European Union. Q: OSCE Chairman-in-Office, Salomon Passy, recently expressed his satisfaction with the work of the OSCE Mission to Croatia. How much has Croatia progressed since the last parliamentary elections, in terms of democratisation and EU integration? Which areas showed the greatest progress? A: I believe that the greatest achievement since the last parliamentary elections was the creation of a positive atmosphere for the return of refugees and dialogue with national minorities. I believe that in so doing, several taboos were overcome. Also, we believe that the government has shown its determination to deal with issues that are also related to our mandate in Croatia. Q: In every step, the Croatian Government has declaratively refused all displays of extremism. Has this policy impacted on the areas monitored by the OSCE, in particular regarding the respect of minority rights? A: One of the most positive outcomes of this policy is the fact that issues concerning national minorities have been brought into the political mainstream, something which was unthinkable only a short while ago.

  • News in Brief 12 July
    Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe OSCE Mission to Croatia News in brief 12 July – 25 July 2006 Prime Minister Sanader visits Serbia On 21 July, Croatian Prime Minister Ivo Sanader paid his second official visit to Serbia, further intensifying bilateral relations between the two countries. Prime Minister Sanader made his first visit to Belgrade in November 2004, followed by a reciprocal visit to Zagreb by Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Koštunica in November 2005. Prior to their meeting in Belgrade the two Prime Ministers officially opened the newly renovated border crossing between Croatia and Serbia in Bajakovo, Eastern Croatia. At the ceremony attended by representatives of both governments and the diplomatic corps from Zagreb and Belgrade, the Croatian Premier said that "today we are opening the future of new relations between our two countries." Echoing this sentiment, Prime Minister Koštunica added that both the "Serbian and Croatian governments will work to heal wounds from the past and build a new future for the two states in a united Europe". Later, following talks in Belgrade, both Prime Ministers declared that Serbia and Croatia have a joint objective, to join the European Union, and that strong bilateral relations between the two countries should be the foundation of political security in the region. Prime Minister Sanader commended the efforts both governments had made towards improving the position of minorities in line with the bilateral agreement on minority protection signed between the two countries in November 2004. He went on to stress his cabinet’s wish to see the Serb minority fully integrated into Croatian society.

  • Framing Croatia's Politics of Memory and Identity
    Workshop: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER WORKSHOP: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER Author: Taylor A. McConnell, School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh Title: “KRVatska”, “Branitelji”, “Žrtve”: (Re-)framing Croatia’s politics of memory and identity Date: 3 April 2018 Workshop: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER “KRVatska”, “Branitelji”, “Žrtve”: (Re-)framing Croatia’s politics of memory and identity Taylor McConnell, School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh Web: taylormcconnell.com | Twitter: @TMcConnell_SSPS | E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This paper explores the development of Croatian memory politics and the construction of a new Croatian identity in the aftermath of the 1990s war for independence. Using the public “face” of memory – monuments, museums and commemorations – I contend that Croatia’s narrative of self and self- sacrifice (hence “KRVatska” – a portmanteau of “blood/krv” and “Croatia/Hrvatska”) is divided between praising “defenders”/“branitelji”, selectively remembering its victims/“žrtve”, and silencing the Serb minority. While this divide is partially dependent on geography and the various ways the Croatian War for Independence came to an end in Dalmatia and Slavonia, the “defender” narrative remains preeminent. As well, I discuss the division of Croatian civil society, particularly between veterans’ associations and regional minority bodies, which continues to disrupt amicable relations among the Yugoslav successor states and places Croatia in a generally undesired but unshakable space between “Europe” and the Balkans. 1 Workshop: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER Table of Contents Abstract ...................................................................................................................................................................

  • Glas Slavonije, 20 May 2006
    Glas Slavonije, May 20, 2006 Journalist: Dragana Korpos Interview with Jorge Fuentes Monzonis-Vilallonga, head of the OSCE Mission to Croatia, on the Mission’s current activities and recent events in Croatia ANYTHING RESEMBLING APARTHEID SHOULD BE AVOIDED We are trying to encourage the Government to facilitate refugee return and the Government is doing everything in its power to do so. However, one should not underestimate the impact the social atmosphere has on this process. It would be ideal if there were no [ethnically-motivated] incidents The Head of the OSCE Mission to Croatia, Jorge Fuentes Monzonis-Vilallonga, visited Vukovar on Wednesday where he met with city authorities and representatives of the Serb minority community, as well as open the OSCE’s new field office in Vukovar. The visit was an excellent opportunity to talk to this experienced Spanish diplomat about the Mission’s current activities as well as recent events in Croatia. Since taking over as Head of the OSCE Mission to Croatia a year ago, what major changes have you noticed in Croatia, and to what extent has our country progressed towards EU membership? I came here a year ago, which to a certain extent is the final stage of the Mission’s presence in Croatia. Upon my arrival, I noted that there was room for additional improvement in relations between the Mission and the Croatian government. Likewise, my first impression of the Mission was the great amount of work accomplished, both at the Mission’s HQ in Zagreb and at the various field offices. After a while, I noted that the Mission’s many tasks needed to be directed towards a specific goal for easier orientation.

  • Former Yugoslavia: Emergency Assistance
    FORMER YUGOSLAVIA: EMERGENCY 18 Novem ber ASSISTANCE appeal no. 01.29/97 situation report no. 4 period covered: June - 30 September 1997 Donations totaling USD 6 million from the US Government for International Federation operations in former Yugoslavia — combined with sizeable grants from the Swedish and Norwegian Governments and Red Cross Societies — ensured that operations which were threatened with closure in Croatia and the Federal Republic (FR) Yugoslavia can be sustained for the remainder of 1997. At the end of October the Federation launched a new international advocacy campaign forFR Yugoslavia which it hopes will generate interest and a response to the ongoing needs of refugees and other vulnerable groups there. Meanwhile, in October the General Assembly of the Red Cross of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina was formally constituted and elected new office holders. The following month, the General Assembly of the Red Cross of Republika Srpska was held. The context Over 808,000 beneficiaries across former Yugoslavia are receiving assistance from the region’ s National Societies working alongside the International Federation, with its network of delegations in Belgrade, Sarajevo, Zagreb, and sub-delegations in Podgorica, Pristina and Osijek/Vukovar. Latest events Bosnia-Herzegovina Following rising tensions over the summer in Republika Srpska (RS) and the stand-off between the entity president Biljana Plavsic and the Pale leadership, political and civil unrest continued emergency appeal no. 01.29/97 situation report no. 4 in September. International community support for Plavsic and SFOR’s ‘Operation Tango’ provoked retaliatory attacks on various international organisations, and SFOR troops closed down the RS’s television station following “its tasteless compilation of outright lies”.
