Abstract
In the Croatian State Archive in Zagreb in the collections of the Secretariat of internal affairs of the Socialist Republic of Croatia, the State Security Services (SUP, SRH, SDS) and of the Military Commission of the Central Committee of the League of Communists of Croatia (CK SKH), one can access reports of an informer code-named Ivančević, who regularly reported to OZNA/UDBA, the
security, information, and counter-intelligence service of the Yugoslavian communist government, about conditions in the leadership of the party. The reports contain much data on the leaders of the Croat Peasant Party (HSS), their mutual relations, and especially present the views of Ivan Šubašić concerning the political situation. The author also points to many facts which support the
hypothesis that the true identity of the person behind the code name Ivančević was Ivan Andres, a member of the highest circles of the HSS and a former minister in the government of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
