IMPLEMENTATION OF PARTY CONCLUSIONS IN THE SIGNATORIES OF THE DECLARATION ON THE NAME AND STATUS OF THE CROATIAN LITARARY LANGUAGE AND THE SUGGESTION FOR THINKING – ACCORDING TO THE WRITINGS OF POLITIKA AND BORBA

Summary/Abstract: The Party wanted to unveil the circumstances how the Declaration on the Name and Status of the Croatian Literary Language was signed. It asked for the sanctioning of the responsible ones and public distancing from its content. In order to implement the Party conclusions, in the majority of the signatory institutions special meetings were held. The Association of the Writers of Croatia discussed the Declaration twice. First, on the 29th and 30th March the communists of the Association denounced its content.Then on the 4th of April the ground organization of the League of Communists proclaimed the disciplinary measures. Discussions were led at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, first in the ground organization of the League of Communists and then at the Faculty Council. In Matica hrvatska (Matrix Croatica) there were no larger discussions, except for one meeting that was closed for the public and that issued a statement that the Directors’ Board and the Supervisory Board would sign in a collective resignation. The Zadar press gave a short report that the ground organization of the League of Communists of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences had punished two signatories. Except for the professing of the way how the Declaration should be implemented there were no other larger discussions in the signatory institutions of the Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts, in the Old Slavic Institute and Literary Translators’ Association. Their members, who were the Party members, underwent disciplinary measures in other institutions, mainly in the Croatian Writers’ Association and at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. Ther Party bodies had a negative reaction also to the appearance of The Suggestion for Thinking by a group of Serbian writers, members of the Serbia Writers’ Association. After negative Party reactions a communists meeting was held as well as a special, non-regular assembley of the Association. The initiators were punished. The paper brings the content of the conclusions and the most interesting parts of the talks from these meetings. A special emphasis is put onto the talks of the main protagonists of the Declaration and the Suggestion.
