Notes on the activities of the SDA in Gračanica during the period spanning from its foundation to the referendum for the independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with a special overview of the situation in Stjepan Polje (1990 – 1992)

Summary/Abstract: The first parliamentary elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina, held in 1990, are undoubtedly one of the turning points in the recent history of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Many historical studies and books have been written on this subject, and everything important that happened that day is more or less known: both from the winning and losing side. Of course, the events that took place in the so-called fundament of society, in the municipalities and local communities, took place in accordance with the then legal regulations on which the election programs of the political parties (old and new) were based. However, in local environments, such social processes have their own peculiarities – generally, as a rule – which were also given additional, special flavor by the immediate actors, who were involved in these processes in one way or another. These topics have generally garnered less attention from researchers and have been analyzed less. In order to draw attention to this, in this paper the author has managed to shed light on the activities of the SDA in Gračanica during the period from its foundation to the referendum for the independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina – based on his own notes and memories. This paper is an authentic testimony of an immediate actor in these events, an actor who writes about them and evaluates them from his own perspective: also the founder and first president of the SDA in his own village, who will also be elected to the first convocation of the Municipal assembly. These testimonies are very interesting and authentic, and as such can be a source for some broader generalizations about party turmoil and the immediate actors of these events.
