Croatian National Youth (HANAO)

In this paper, the author will present the genesis of the creation, subsequent activity and development of two Croatian National Youth organizations (HANAO) in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The establishment of both organizations took place at the time of the concentration of Croatian parties in an opposition „ Croatian Block“ , i.e. after the adoption of the Vidovdan Constitution, which proclaimed a centralized system of government. During the period of their activity, each of these two organizations had a different approach to the struggle against the centralized government system of the Kingdom of SHS, in which process, for a certain period of time, their idelogical programs, particularly in respect of the Croatian ethnical issue, were totally opposite to each other. In their activity, both HANAO organizations demonstrated indirect commitment to some of the programs of Croatian political parties that were active in the political scene of the Kingdom of SHS.
