Summary/Abstract: In the 19th century, Eastern-European national movements were characterized by the struggle to create a unified national language and the preservation of cultural identity. In Hungary of the time, language and culture became the systemic part of Hungarian social-political programs and it is not by accident that the national movements of Croats and Slovaks in the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia also appeared as a battle for the language and in the sign of Slav mutuality, the so-called Pan-Slavism. Based on letters by Eudard Rehaček, Slovak Jánko/Ivan Tombor, and Ján Miroslav Gerometta, a less known image of the raising of self-awareness by the Croatian youth is received, as well as of the cooperation by Slovak and Croatian students in Pecs when Croatian students became a role model for the Slovakian ones.
