"Anti-Croat circles"?
[edit]The original paragraph was (deleted part striked out):
- It competed in the football championship of Independent State of Croatia. After the end of Second World War, that circumstance was used as an excuse
of anti-Croat circles in the Yugoslav communist leadershipto ban the work of this football club and disband it, as it was the case with other clubs that competed in the championship of Independent State of Croatia.
The deleted part is misleading: in Communist Yugoslavia, organizations (other than cultural) that were based on ethnicity were simply not tolerated as a matter of principle. There was not a single ethnicity-themed sports club in Yugoslavia. So, it was not a some sort of anti-Croat revenge, but a general rule that applied to everyone. The rest of the sentence is still not referenced, but it is at least plausible. GregorB (talk) 21:50, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
Well, in a period of 10 years after WWII (especially in period 1954-1956), Croat cultural institutions in Vojvodina were abolished or forced to change their name so that no Croat name was contained, as it was with Croatian National Theatre in Subotica, newspaper Hrvatska riječ (Croatian Word), HKPD (Croatian cultural-educational society) Matija Gubec from Tavankut...
I don't know if something similar has been done to the cultural institutions and organizations of other ex-Yugoslav nationalities.
That's why I used the phrase "anti-Croat circles". Bye, Kamarad Walter (talk) 01:35, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
- All true, but should we ascribe the fact that in the same period there were no e.g. Serb cultural organizations in Croatia to "anti-Serb circles"? Could be, but to me it's not plausible. So I'd say that it's better to write too little than too much. Still, nothing it's "too much" if it's backed up by references. GregorB (talk) 12:29, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
