Sažetak
This article analyzes the representation of the interethnic relations between Serbs and Croats in the discourse of the main national holidays, such as Veterans‟ Day (Dan borca) on 4 July, Uprising Day of the Peoples of Croatia (Dan ustanka naroda Hrvatske) on 27 July, and the Day of the Antifascist Struggle (Dan antifašističke borbe) on June 22 in Croatia. In the years following the World War Two until the 1980s, the discourse emphasized collaborative facets of the Serbo-Croat relations throughout the War. The commemorations dedicated to civilians who were victims of interethnic violence were downplayed, while the common struggle of the Serbs and the Croats against the enemy was stressed. The discourse began to change most emphatically in the 1980s, when civilians of interethnic violence started to be acknowledged and commemorated more openly in the context of the rising tensions along ethnic lines and significant political changes occurring both in Croatia and in the broader region of Southeast Europe.
