Sažetak
After the publication of the Declaration on The Name and Status of The Croatian Literary Language
by Telegram on the 17th of March 1967, a sharp reaction of the communist party structures
followed. First on the 21st of March 1967 the Executive Comittee of the Central Comittee of the
Communist Party of Croatia put forward their point of view. Later also lower party structures submitted
their observations. Taking into account the fact that it was a hot issue, that was described as
an attack on brotherhood and unity by the party, the press wrote a lot and paid a lot of attention
to the Declaration. Although the core discussions were led in Croatia, the Serbian communists
actively participated in the burning linguistic discussions. Their reactions were marked by the
appearance of a Suggestion for Thought at the assembly of the Association of Writers of Serbia on
the 19th of March 1967. Reactions to the Declaration and the Suggestion popped up also in other
Yugoslav republics, mainly in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro. Recently in Croatia a lot
has been written about the Declaration. Those writings came mostly from the quill of the authors
of the Declaration who mostly paid attention to the context in which the Declaration was written
as well as to the subsequent hunt for the signatories. However, a complete and chronological overview
of the reaction of the party structures at the whole Yugoslav area is missing. Furthermore, the
Croatian public spoke little about the Suggestion for Thought which appeared as a reaction to the
Declaration. The paper gives a chronological overview of the reactions of the party structures at the
whole Yugoslav area as reported in some Serbian press. It presents which political forums expressed
their opinions on the burning linguistic issues of the time and which positions to the Declaration
and the Suggestion as well as to their authors they held.
