Summary/Abstract: The Declaration concerning the name and position of the Croatian literary language was the first hint of liberalization of social life, stemming from the relaxation of party and police control of society following the removal of Aleksandar Ranković in July 1966. American and British diplomats, as well as the western media, attentively followed as events unfolded following the publication of this declaration and made note of public reaction, as well as their own analysis of potential consequences for social and political relations in Croatia and Yugoslavia, especially its effect on Serb-Croat relations.
