History
editOver time, some party members were unsatisfied with party's policy, so they separated and formed new Croat parties:
- Hrvatski narodni savez (Croatian National Alliance) – in 1998 (this fraction has been reincorporated into DSHV on 29 February 2004)
- Hrvatska bunjevačko-šokačka stranka (Croatian Bunjevac-Šokac Party)
- Demokratska zajednica Hrvata (Democratic Union of Croats) – in 2007
In 2009 DSHV negotiated with another ethnic Croat party from the Syrmia region of Vojvodina, the Hrvatska srijemska inicijativa / Hrvatska sremska inicijativa (Croatian Syrmian Initiative). It was planned that HSI and DSHV would unite on 5 June 2009 at a meeting in Sremska Mitrovica.[2]
It has occasionally condemned attacks by Serbian nationalists, and it has issued protests over ethnic assimilation.[3][4] It is also supportive of further autonomism.[5]
