Summary/Abstract: The article treats the relations of the Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina towards the Croat Peasant Party (HTS) and the Croat People's Party (HPS), the activity of the mentioned Parties’ Leaders, and the role of the Croatian Republican Peasant Party (HRSS) in the March elections of 1923. The Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina, without regard to the continuous party-ascent of the HRSS, were in the state of seething. The Croat Peasant Party, inside the Croat Bloc (HB), by adopting the attitude of the HRSS, inofficially became its branch. It was the reason why the majority of the Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina took side to the Croat Peasant Party, in fact to the Croat Republican Peasant Party. While the HTS was trying to realize its plans dwelling upon the Bosno-Herzegovinian basis, the HRSS aspired after the affirmation on a broader ground, general-Croatian, and the HPS directed itself to its aim based mainly on the Croatian basis, but exclusively on its own. In the year 1923 which represented a new epoch in the Croatian problem, ail of them pointed out Croatian national feeling in the first place. The Croat Peasant Party and the Croat People's Party could not come to mutual understanding. The HPS distanced itself from the HTS and the HRSS, while the leadership of the HTS dissented.
