Croatisation (Croatization or Croatian: hrvatizacija or kroatizacija) is a term used to describe a cultural change in which somebody ethnically non-Croat is made to become Croat.
Due to some events in the past (World War II) it mainly carries negative connotations where someone is forced to accept Croatian identity. During the World War II, the Ustaša regime forced conversion of Orthodox Serbs into Catholicism, they were Croatised.
During the Yugoslav wars, when most of the Serbs left Krajina after Operation Storm, the Serbs inclined towards Slobodan Milošević and the Serbian radicals felt that they were subjected to Franjo Tuđman's Croatisation.[1]
The Law on Public Television was among the first adopted by the new Croatian Parliament in June 1990 after the first elections. The goal was not denationalization of TV or the transformation to a public service, but Croatisation of television.[2]
