Sažetak
The authors prepared the study Political Memories by Stjepan Zagorac for
print. In this biography, this prominent politician and catholic / old catholic
priest mostly focuses on Frano Supilo’s work. In the introduction of the
article, the authors analyse the biography and the context in which Zagorac
built his political career. They point out his evolution (Christian socialism,
being a member of various Party of Right groups and standing by the
January Sixth Regime). The authors make a connection between Zagorac’s
political path and the role Frano Supilo played in significantly contributing
to the changes in Croatian politics at the beginning of the 20th century.
The memories confirm the connection between Zagorac and Supilo on the
arrangement around drawing up the Rijeka Resolution, creating a
Croat-Serb coalition and specific methods of communicating with
Hungarian politicians. Despite the differences appearing in their
relationship after 1908, they shared their opinions on using party
concentrations, as well as on changing the dualistic system in the Austro-
-Hungarian Monarchy which slowed down Croatia’s development.
The authors also saw Political memories as an opportunity to preserve
more accounts about Frano Supilo in the public memory of interwar
Yugoslavia.
