SUPILO AND THE CROATO-SERBIAN RELATIONSHIPS

Livia Kardum ; Faculty of Political Science, University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

Supilo, as one of the most significant Croatian politicians left an indellible mark on Croatian political life due to his discerning political judgements. After his attempts to secure the unification of Croatia with Bosnia-Herzegovina within the Austro-Hungarian Empire by means of a joint Croato-Serbian effort had fallen through, he became one of the most fervent advocates of the unification of all south Slavs within a common state. But he was also the first to recognize the destructiveness of the Greater Sebian politics for a harmonious political life of the future South-Slavonic state; with the same ardour with which he once advocated the unification, he began his fight against it and for the independence of Croatia hoping in this way to save its territorial and national integrity.
