Sažetak
Founded in Mostar as "Croatioan supportive association for high school and university students in Bosnia and Herzegovina" in 1902, Croatian Cultural association "Napredak" was established in Sarajevo the same year as "Croatian association for helping children attend craft and trade schools. In 1907, after some years of hard negotiations, these two associations officially fused into one. The elementary purpose of this integration was to provide scholarships for pupils and students, to help in asscribing children to craft and trade schools and support students in general. As the time went by, the activities extended into the field of culture and education, publishing and the permanent expansion of suborganizations and representing offices not only in Bosnia and Herzegovina but also outside it's borders.
The suborganization in Kreka was one of those smaller associoations whitin "Napredak", founded in August 26, 1920. At the beginning, the organization counted close to 60 members, but that number was oscillating very frequentlly. The organization in Kreka supported itself by donations, memberships, selling various products with "Napredak" trademark and many other ways. One of the noticable incomes certainly was organising entertainments for everyone. In 1926, supported by the central organisation from Sarajevo which assisted with useful advices, suborganisation in Kreka organised one of the parties "which came out better than any other in Tuzla". That was the most important event in that year with noticable social and moral conotations. The event gather "all layers of society, all religions and tribes" together with no political, religious or national differences, and produced unacceptable materijal benefits for Kreka organisation. That was a new initial for Croatian Cultural Association "Napredak" and its suorganisations to continue with the spectrum of cultural and social activities.
