Abstract

U radu se analizira početak višestranačkih procesa na području Dubrovačko-neretvanske županije (DNŽ) u razdoblju od konca 1989. godine zaključno s osnivanjem posljednje stranke prije početka Domovinskog rata. Obrađena je politička situacija u pet tadašnjih općina, odnosno općinama Kardeljevo, Metković, Lastovo, Korčula i Dubrovnik. Na temelju društveno –ekonomskog stanja u pojedinoj općini, obrađen je nastanak inicijativnih krugova osnivača stranaka, zatim osnivačke skupštine, početno djelovanje i širenje stranačkih mreža. To je razdoblje jačanja krize unutar Saveza komunista hrvatske (SKH) i uspona, prvenstveno, Hrvatske demokratske zajednice (HDZ). Na to se nadovezuje analiza prvih višestranačkih izbora u Republici Hrvatskoj iz travnja 1990. godine u okviru DNŽ. Posebnost područja obuhvaćenog ovim radom je u različitosti izbornog rezultata koja ukazuje na bitke razlike u prošlosti te u prihvaćanju demokratskih tokova u pojedinim općinama. Naposljetku, prikazano je formiranje Skupština Općina (SO) s obzirom na izborni rezultat, formiranje novih postizbornih stranaka te daljnji razvoj već formiranih. Iako su u većini općina komunisti uspjeli očuvati većinu u SO, krajnji dio rada bavi se pitanjem pojačanog društvenog udaljavanja od ideologije i simbola komunizma u skladu s jačanjem hrvatskog nacionalnog naboja. Također, u izraženijem fokusu rada je i djelovanja stranaka s predznacima drugih naroda. Posebno se to odnosi na formiranje stranaka s izraženim Srpskim članstvom, koje su bile povezane uz predratno antihrvatsko djelovanje.

Abstract (english)

This thesis analyzes the beginnings of the multi-party process in Dubrovnik-Neretva County (DNŽ) in the period from the end of 1989 until the last new party formation before the outbreak of the Croatian War of Independence. It examines the political situation in five municipalities at that time, namely the municipalities of Kardeljevo, Metković, Lastovo, Korčula and Dubrovnik. Based on the socio-economic situation in the individual municipalities, the paper addresses the emergence of initiative circles of the party founders, followed by founding meetings, initial activites and the expansion of the party networks. This is the period of an unfolding crisis within the League of Croatian Communists (SKH) and the rise of mainly the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ). In that regard, the first multi-party elections in the Republic of Croatia in April 1990 within the DNŽ are analyzed. The specific nature of the region covered by this thesis is the diversity of election results which points to the past disputes over differences and the acceptance of democratic trends in certain municipalities. Finally, the thesis provides an overview of the formation of the Municipal Councils based on the election results, the formation of new parties after the elections and the further development of already established parties. Although the Communists could retain a majority in the Municipal Council in most municipalities, the final part of this thesis deals with the issue of increased social distance from the ideology and symbols of communism in accordance with the strengthening of the Croatian national semblance. There is also a more pronounced focus on the work and activities of parties representing minorities. This especially applies to the formation of parties with pronounced Serbian membership, which were associated with pre-war anti-Croatian activities.
