The Croats and and the 1908 neo-Slavic congress in Prague (on the basis of the Croatian press)
The first congress of the Neo-Slavists took place in Prague, in July 1908. It was the culmination of the movement: the largest and most successful meeting of supporters of Slavic solidarity and mutual cooperation of the Slavic peoples at the beginning of the 20th century. The congress had an anniversary character: it was organized on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the 1848 Slavic congress in Prague. However, the Prague congress was also a preparatory meeting for the planned great congress and Slavic exhibition in Moscow. The author shows the reactions of the Croatian political public to the preparations for the congress in Prague, as well as to the congress itself.
