Sažetak
The links between the Apostolic See and the Croats date back to the pontificates of Gregory I the Great (590-604) and John IV the Dalmatian (640-642), continuing in the times of the recognition of Croatia in the eras of John VIII (872-882) and Gregory VII (1073-1085), and of the fight for the equality of the Croatian language and the Glagolitic script in the Roman Church liturgy in the periods of Alexander II (1061-1073) and Innocent IV (1243-1254). The Croats had, in return, supported the Papacy in the European integration processes and defended the unionist and ecumenical movements. In the papal chancery documents, and particularly in the correspondence of the Apostolic See with Croatian rulers –princes and kings, this may be followed from year to year, even from day to day in some cases. A proof thereof is, inter alia, the correspondence between Pope John VIII and the Croatian Prince Branimir – five letters exchanged 7-10 June 879.
