Fri, November 22, 1:30 to 3:15pm EST (1:30 to 3:15pm EST), Boston Marriott Copley Place, Floor: 3rd Floor, Fairfield

Abstract

This paper will focus on the importance of the "Draft" of the first Croatian democratic Constitution, which was drawn up in Malinska on the island of Krk from August 1 to 15, 1990. It will analyze those provisions dealing with the Republic of Croatia's coat of arms, flag and anthem and the flag and sash of the President of the Republic of Croatia which, shorn of their communist symbolism, represented an expression of the liberation of Croatian symbolic identity.
