Sažetak

Don Ivo Prodan (Janjina, 1852 – Zadar, 1933), eminent publicist and politician espousing ideas of the Party of Right, is one of the first disseminator and founders of the Party of Right in Dalmatia in the second part of the 19th century; from 1906 he was president of the renewed and united Party of Right in Dalmatia and from 1911 he was vicepresident of the whole organization of the Party of Right. Participating in the party-political life and the parliamentary life of the region he was initially a representative of the Party of Right in the Dalmatian assembly 1901–1912/18 and afterwards, from 1907 to the disintegration of the Habsburg Monarchy in 1918, he was also a representative in the central state parliament – the Reichsrat in Wien. At the end of he 19th century and during the first two decades of the 20th century (1896–1918) Dalmatia elected eleven representatives to the State parliament. Don Ivo Prodan became a candidate for the election of a representative into the Reichsrat during the elections in 1907 and 1911. Although he was a candidate of the Party of Right which more than any other party campaigned for the union of the Croatian lands and for a more independent Croatia he defeated his opponents from the Autonomist and the Croatian party. On both occassions Prodan achieved victory in the Zadar election district which was composed of Zadar – Pag – Rab – Biograd owing to nationally aware Croatian voters, primarily the lower class of the city dwellers, the clergy, teachers and the nationally aware peasants of the outlying election areas who unanimously voted for him. During his two mandates in the Wien Parliament he persistently fought for Croatian national, economic and political interests. He particularly dedicated his efforts to promote the interests of Dalmatia and the region from which he was elected. In short, Prodan successfully completed his two mandates in the Reichsrat and this is why his parliamentary career in Wien deserves special attention and discussion. However, that would take us outside the confines of the paper.
