- Abstract
The article presents a study on the Croatian public opinion toward Bulgaria during the two Balkan wars in 1912 and 1913 as reflected in the Croatian Press at the time. Croatian journalistic press was controlled by the political parties such as the Party of Rights which therefore shaped public opinion and influencing foreign relations. The author points out the changes of opinion toward Bulgaria in the course of the two Balkan Wars. Before the First Balkan War the Press was sympathetic of the Bulgarian cause as it seemed to serve Croatia's interest in the Balkan Peninsula. However when Bulgaria entered in conflict with Serbia the Croatian opinion shifted against Bulgaria and sided Serbia perceived as Croatia's best ally. After the second Balkan war it shifted back to support Bulgaria.
