Duvno kao žarište „hrvatskog nacionalizma i katoličkog klerikalizma“ u zadnjem desetljeću komunističke vlasti
Duvno as the Hotbed of “Croatian Nationalism and Catholic Clericalism” during the last Decade of Yugoslav Communism

Summary/Abstract: The last decade of communist government in Bosnia and Herzegovina is marked by the weakening of the system and the concomitant strengthening of the repressive apparatus by which the government intended to preserve and stabilize itself. Following the miraculous events in Međugorje, the communists increased pressure on the Church and many priests in Herzegovina ended up in jails. Duvno became the flashpoint of repression and resistance to the regime as it is the location of the Franciscan monastery where the monthly Naša ognjišta [Our hearths] is published. Dozens of youth from Duvno were sentenced to prison terms, and in the early days of the 1990s the first anticommunist and anti-Yugoslav demonstrations erupted in Duvno heralding the end of communist rule and the disintegration of the Yugoslav state.
