Abstract
Professor Ante Neimarevic (Guča Gora, Travnik, 1891- Zagreb, 1965), worked as a His¬tory teacher in Križevci after having escaped from World War One horrors. A good friend to Maštrović and hearty Croat, he soon joined the Croatian Peasant Party (HSS) in Križevci, hoping to reestablish the city's dignity and relevance. He heartedly organized party meetings in Križevci and its vicinity and through his speeches in¬formed people on political situation from local and European point of view.
Professor Neimarevic was in fact an intel¬lectual promotor of HSS in the territory. Much credit is given to him for the fact that the people of Križevci stood by Stjepan Radić and strongly supported him. Neimarevic and Maštrović were the true Radić followers pledging
justice, honesty and work but also peaceful dispute settlement.Owing to Mr Neimarevic, the HSS had an untroubled pace in the region. The most fertile period was that of peasant-democratic coalition, after the Radić-Pribićević Agreement had been signed, when Croats and local Serbs jointly worked on establishing national institutions. Traces of that time can be found in newspapers and archives. The Croatian Peasant Party and prof. Ljubomir Maštrović had an ardent aide in prof. Neimarevic.
