Summary/Abstract: The author is concerned with the relevance of human rights for the contemporary history of Croatia as well as the historiographical dimension of the appearance and combination of ethnocentrism and authoritarian populism as a framework for national homogenization in Serbia and Croatia at the beginning of the 1990s. In the article he attempts to tie together various - above all, political - aspects of the basic theme: the origin and meaning of the ideas of the new political elites, the reception of value positions at a time of transition and war, an understanding of the relationship between national interests and democratization etc.
