Abstract
On the basis of the hitherto unused archival materials - the police and government officials reports in Croatia and Slavonia - the author analyses the HRSS Assembly of 15 April 1923 and its political reverberations in Croatia. The Assembly was exceptionally important not only in the historical development of the HRSS but for relationship of this strongest Croatian party to the governing structures. It was a public response to the oppressive Belgrade regime towards Croats and Croatia. The requests for Croatian sovereignty based on the consensus between Croatian and Serbian population were proclaimed at the Assembly. Likewise, a sharp critique of the centralism and unitarism of the regime and the king was raised, which could have had unpleasant consequences for Radić personally and the party. Even though this time the government did not persecute Radić, it organised a widespread examination of the political echoes of this Assembly.
