Abstract
Narodni Glas was the only opposition newspaper in the post war Croatia. It was initiated and supported by the main-stream of the HSS party, led by V. Maček and A Košutić, and its immediate founder was a group of people led by Košutić's wife Mira Košutić. The newspaper refused any cooperation with the Communist government and the policies which were not based on freedom and equality. It also disagreed with all novelties introduced by the regime. The newspaper insisted on the sovereignty of the Croatian people and the representation by freely elected officials. When it determined that free elections were not possible, Narodni Glas urged the populace to abstain. It strongly supported V. Maček which was a clear message to the party members willing to cooperate with the regime. Aware that the newspaper was the only voice of opposition, the regime successfully banned its publication.
