Abstract
The problem of state restructuring was always present in the mutational Austria-Hungary. Radić's plan to that effect appeared at the end of 1905. His concept consisted of an alliance of states and nations based on a communality of laws, traditions, and economic, and cultural needs. The design assumed the fulfilment of seven requirements within a firmly determined democratic and parliamentarian system. He rejected all ideas which could be interpreted as diminishment of the Croatian national program based on the values of historical and state rights. S. Radić emphasized the principle of national self-determination, thus showing the sensibility for contemporary rooting of the Croatian individuality.
