Source-derived summary

The Croatian Peasant Party of Stjepan Radić (Croatian: Hrvatska seljačka stranka Stjepana Radića or HSS SR) is a minor Croatian political party in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In 2007, Croatian Peasant Party of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the New Croatian Initiative merged. The New Croatian Initiative was formed as a splinter group from the Croatian Democratic Union of Bosnia and Herzegovina by Krešimir Zubak. They were originally named HSS-NHI (CPP-NCI). After HSS-NHI underwent turmoil and internal divisions grew, a division of former HSS members led by Ljiljana Lovrić left the party and reestablished HSS in 2010. Shortly afterwards, another splinter group from HSS-NHI led by Anto Lozančić formed HSS Stjepan Radić. In 2014 general elections, they chose not to stand in the elections. HSS Stjepan Radić is a member party of the Croatian National Assembly.

In the 2020–24 legislative period, HSS SR has the majority in one municipality in the country, Croat-majority Dobretići.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “political party in Bosnia and Herzegovina” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q11214810. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2007, 2010, 2014 and 2020.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
