The Application of the Obznana Against the HRSS and the Consequences of this on its Followers in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Tomislav Išek
Sažetak
The author analyses the great-Serbian regime's policy towards the Croatian Republican Peasant Party (HRSS - Hrvatska republikanska seljačka stranka) as regards the consequences this had on the party-members in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The survey starts in 1918, but the main accent is on the period between 1924-1925. This is because at the end of 1924 the Law for the Protection of the Stare (Zakon o zaštiti države) was, by a special decision of the government, which felt itself to be increasingly threatened in the unstable situation in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, extende to the HRSS. This decision was applied very rigorously and widely in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Sanctions based on doubtful facts or obvious insinuations were aften taken even against ordinary members of the HRSS, only to disable the party's work. Most difficult were those cases in which the existence of the HRSS's members, or of their families, was imperiled. The enforcement of the Obznana against members of the HRSS led to the conclusion that the »great policy«, whose final goal was, allegedly, the unity of the state, was making the Croatian question even more acute. Starting from the mistaken supposition that they would, by eliminating the HRSS, pave the way for hegemony, N. Pašić's and S. Pribićević's government, and its followers, reached erronious conclusions both in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in other regions, and so brought themselves to a paralogism. All the actions of the autborities, based on the mentioned government decision of 1924, and directed against the HRSS however much they were aimed at the break up of the party, in face influenced the growth and strengthening of cohesive factors among Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and among Croats in general.
