Sažetak
Crystallization of Croatian nation-building ideology reaches its peculiar culmination
at the end of 19 century. Actually, in 1894. when Independent Party of People of Josip
Strossmayer and Party of Rights of Ante Starčević formulated common platform. Its fundamental
request was basically directed toward independent Croatian state whose constituent
part would also be Bosnia and Herzegovina. Concerning that till then was clear that Ortodox
in Bosnia and Herzegovina aspire towards other objectives and that numerical strengh of
Catholics in that land was insufficient for realization of Croatian project, special importance
had tendency of incorporation the Bosnian and Herzegovinian Muslims in the framework
of national Croatianhood. From the aspect of the then occasions, the subject was meaningfully
defined as stand point. But the further development of events, especially during the Second
World War and during the duration of socialist Yugoslavia, substantially changed previous
interrelations. With disintegration of Yugoslavia, Croatian traditional ideology, impossible to
shape itself consistently with development of reality with which it should confront, appears
on political stage in preserved form. To certain realities, primary to those connected with international
imperatives, it had to adapt quickly. But, on the particular levels, it extremely difficult
gained acces to modiffication of its deep-rooted perceptions. Like that, and inchanged and
substantially more complicated circumstances, it considerably persisted in nearly the fixation
on Serbian threat as well as perception of Bosnian and Herzegovinian Muslims in certain pro-Croatian
context. With relation of such kind, the ability of understanding contemporary Bosniac national
nation-building was essentially decreased and all that contributed to sucessfulness of processes
which are, during very long period, stimulated in the purpose of destruction of Croatian position
in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
