Croatian National Representation

Croatian National Representation

The Croatian National Representation was the name held by the Croatian coalition in the National Assembly of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes from 1921 to 1929's 6th of January Dictatorship and within the Kingdom of Yugoslavia from 1935 to 1941.

The group took on this name for the first time on June 26, 1921. On that day 63 Croatian representatives were in attendance in Zagreb: 56 elected in Croatia and Slavonia (50 from the Croatian Republican Peasant Party, 4 from the Croatian Union, and 2 from the Croatian Party of Rights) as well as 7 elected in Bosnia and Herzegovina (all from the Croatian Agricultural Party). They adopted a resolution supporting federalism and a neutral peasant republic. They also voiced their disapproval towards a centralized constitution, which the National Assembly adopted without them (as well as without the communists and others) only two days laters.

Later the Croatian Peasant Party had an even greater amount of seats. And from 1927 the Independent Democratic Party joined the Representation as well, as they formed the Peasant-Democratic Coalition with the Peasant Party. The Representation often met outside of the National Assembly, either in Belgrade or Zagreb and reached their own resolutions. The Representation symbolically took the place of the banned Croatian Parliament and strengthened the authority of peasant leaders Stjepan Radić and Vladko Maček, who became the de facto leaders of the Croatian people. The Cvetković-Maček Agreement was one of the chief achievements of the Representation and resulted in the formation of the Banovina of Croatia within a partially federalized Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
