Sažetak
Regional party, the Istrian Democratic Assembly (IDA), in the transformation from the social and state system, offered its own pattern of values based on the Istrian autonomy, regionalism
and multiculturality as identificational features of the Istrian inhabitants. IDA, in the turmoil of the Istrian identity at the beginning of the 90s of the 20th century and in the interpretation of the history through suppressed identity as well as through a slow integration of the Istrian Croats in the modern Croatian society, built its political identity and the political perseverance through a regional mobilization and the resistance to the centre of the state authority, interpreting itself to the inhabitants as a defender of the regional interests. Studying the local newspaper Glas Istre, in the period when the Republic of Croatia gained its independence, and observing the role of IDA in shaping of the political and national identity of Istrian inhabitants through Glas Istre as well as through the party’s programme documents, this research has shown a lack of nation-building elements which would be in favour of the thesis of positive role of the regional party in the process of national state building.
