Formation of Political Parties of Republic of Croatia

Cilj ovog diplomskog rada je prikazati kako je došlo do formiranja političkih stranaka Republike Hrvatske. Uz to, prikazat ćemo što je uzrokovalo političku tranziciju u Republici Hrvatskoj. Početkom 1980-ih umrla su trojica najvažnijih funkcionera komunističke Jugoslavije. Jugoslavija je, u tom razdoblju, bila u gospodarskoj krizi što je ubrzalo političku tranziciju. Zbog navedenih razloga došlo je do sve češćih tenzija unutar vladajuće stranke - Saveza komunista Jugoslavije. Političke stranke započele su se formirati nakon raspada Saveza komunista Jugoslavije. Nakon toga opisat ćemo programe prvih političkih stranaka i udruženja u (Socijalističkoj) Republici Hrvatskoj. Na kraju će biti opisana predizborna kampanja vezana uz prve parlamentarne izbore (Socijalističke) Republike Hrvatske.This work aims to show how did the formation of the political parties within the Republic of Croatia occur. I will also show what caused the political transition in the Republic of Croatia. At the beginning of the 1980s, the three main members of Communist Yugoslavia have died. During that period, Communist Yugoslavia was in an economic recession which has hastened the political transition. Due to stated reasons, tensions were very often in the ruling party- League of Communists of Yugoslavia. The political parties had been formated after the League of Communists of Yugoslavia’s dissolution. After that, I will describe the first programs of political parties and associations of (Socialist) Republic of Croatia. In the end, I will describe how did the pre-election campaign of the first parliamentary elections of (Socialist) Republic of Croatia look like
