Summary/Abstract: During the parliamentary period of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (1918–1929) there were two groups on the Croatian political stage that went under the name of Starčević’s Croatian Party of Right (SHSP). Following the exclusion of the Croatian Party of Right (frankovci) from the first Croatian Bloc, a group of disaffected members led by Mirko Košutić and Matej Mintas formed the SHSP (1923). The party’s organ was the weekly Hrvatska (Zagreb, 1923-1927). The newly established ‘Starčević’ party supported the politics of Radić’s Croatian Republican Peasant Party. Conflicts within the party led to a split of the SHSP into the Košutić faction and the Mintas-Šafar faction (1925). Both of the factions retained the old party name. Košutić’s faction, who no longer unconditionally supported Radić’s politics, continued to publish Hrvatska. The Mintas-Šafar faction, who remained stead-fast in their support of Radić’s party, began the weekly Slobodna Hrvatska (Zagreb, 1925–1928). At the end of 1926 Košutić changed his party’s name to the Croatian People’s Starčević party, which in a few months time ceased to exist (1927). At the beginning of 1926 the leadership of Mintas’ SHSP was assumed by Milan Šafar, and the following year the party took on the name Croatian Starčević Party under which it continued to operate until Radić’s death in August 1928.
