Summary/Abstract: The paper brings historical, social and political facts about the creation of the more recent and contemporary Croatian orthographies. The author sets out from the fact that the authorization of orthography is a political act and, in that sense, suggests that orthographies can be a hot potato in the minister’s hands, because orthography is, especially nationally and politically, a very delicate issue in Croatia.
