Abstract
The paper deals with the social and political circumstances in the former Social Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. In March 1967 the Declaration about the name and the status of the Croatian literary language was written and issued as one of the most important documents in the history of language policy in Croatia. The paper also deals with the political actions of the Communist Party in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, which condemned the Declaration as a nationalistic excess and a politically very harmful act. In addition to the paper there is also a selection of political condemnations of the Declaration.
