Od Bečkoga do Novosadskoga dogovora
From the Vienna Literary Agreement to the Novi Sad Agreement

Summary/Abstract: The Vienna Literary Agreement from 1850 was an especially important event in the history of Croatian language because it systematically endangered its continuity and autonomy and it was completely efficient in the implementation of unitarization by imposing creation of the common language of Serbs and Croats as a unique language of “one nation with two names”. That centennial wave of unitarization was enhanced by the measures of the new Yugoslav socialist government – establishment of the Novi Sad Agreement (1954) which even more severely implemented “linguistic unity according to Serb national feeling” in the “name of brotherhood and unity” and despite obvious, continuous and strong Croatian resistance until the 1920s.
