They are also strongly reflected in the social and political tensions. Politicians of various political options often evoke past events in their public speeches. As expected, they become the main topic of the speech kept during celebrations of anniversaries. The article is devoted to the political use of history in Croatia through the analysis of speeches held during celebrate the holidays and the anniversary celebrations during the summer of 2014.

Speeches and celebrations are presented along with a brief overview of the history of the celebrations, through which examining the context and the changes that have been taking place so far. Analyzing these examples of political use of history in public appearances at celebrations the paper presents the ways in which politicians and public fi gures refer to the past. The resulting image shows the disunity of the Croatian society when it comes to remembering the events of the 20th century and the presence of the culture of memory marked by confrontation and conflicts, as well as a very limited possibility of open public debate on those elements from the national past that present controversial points of national memory.
