Democratic Alliance of Croats in Vojvodina

Demokratski savez Hrvata u Vojvodini Демократски савез Хрвата у Војводини

International alliances

A political party in Serbia, representing the Croat ethnic minority.

Over time, some party members were unsatisfied with party's policy, so they separated and formed new Croat parties: Croatian National Alliance (HNS), Croatian Bunjevac-Šokac Party (HBŠS), Democratic Union of Croats (DZH).

In 2009 DSHV negotiated with another ethnic Croat party from the Syrmia region of Vojvodina, the Croatian Syrmian Initiative (HSI). It was planned that HSI and DSHV would unite on 5 June 2009 at a meeting in Sremska Mitrovica.

It has occasionally condemned attacks by Serbian nationalists, and it has issued protests over ethnic assimilation. It is also supportive of further autonomism.

President: Bela Tonković (1990–2003) Petar Kuntić (2003–2015) Tomislav Žigmanov (30 October 2015–present)
