Association of Croatian Orthodox Believers

[3] The association publishes a journal called Hrvatski pravoslavac (English: The Croatian Orthodox) which features articles discussing religious, historical and political events in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

One of their main activities is the encouragement of Orthodox population in Croatia to officially declare themselves as Croats.

The association marks anniversaries of death of Patriarch Germogen of Croatia and other Croatian Orthodox priests killed by the Yugoslav Partisans in 1945.

Croatian law stipulates that at least 500 members and 5 years of existence are required for a religious organization to be officially registered.

[9] However, members of the Serbian Orthodox Church,[4][10][11] Independent Democratic Serb Party,[12] Serb People's Party,[13] Serb National Council,[14] Croatian culture minister Božo Biškupić,[15] and President Ivo Josipović[12][16] have all voiced criticism of the association, describing it and its existence as "a form of promotion of the Ustaše ideology", "an invitation for intolerance towards other Orthodox communities" and an "ominous association which is fundamentally based on the idea of denying other [communities], primarily the Serbian Orthodox Church and ethnic Serbs".
