The author analyzes the position of Croatia following the Dayton accord. These accords have secured the integrity of Bosnia & Herzegovina, based on the consociational principle as stipulated by Arend Lijphart. However, fierce integrational nationalisms still rage in B&H; & they spill over into neighboring states where they create military & political instability. In Croatia, populist & vindictive nationalism is on the wane, but not so the original democratic nationalism. The latter is manifested in its twin tasks: to join the union of European states & to continue the unification of the entire Croatian ethnic corpus. The first brand of nationalism has been trying to ensure a place for Croatia in the Council of Europe in order to escape the trap of a community of Balkan states as envisaged by Eurostrategists & their latest "globally regional European" policy. Thus, the post-Dayton Croatia will be marked by fault lines & conflicts between these two types of nationalisms; one, pro-European & the other integrational (aimed at bringing together the entire Croatian ethnos). 21 References.
