NK Široki Brijeg is a Bosnian-Herzegovinian team from the town of Široki Brijeg that currently plays in the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Considering the size of the town, NK Široki Brijeg has had a great deal of success and has started to expand that success to European Cups as well in recent years as is demonstrated by the club being a regular competitor in European Cups for the past 8 years. Coat of arm: The club was established in spring 1948, but due to many circumstances, some of them including unfavourable conditions towards the town of Široki Brijeg during the communist rule and relative size of it then, NK Široki Brijeg has experienced its greatest successes in the 1990s and onwards, and has become one of the most successful and organized clubs in Bosnia and Herzegovina today. Again Croats felt communist iron hand during Yugoslavia, they hated whole city, because only Croats live here. How sad. Siroki Brijeg city: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9e/NK_Siroki_Brijeg.png Demographics: 1971: 27.285 total Croats - 26.940 (98,73%) Serbs - 234 (0,85%) Muslims - 43 (0,15%) Yugoslavs - 12 (0,04%) Others - 56 (0,20%) 1991: 26,437 total 26,231 Croats (99.2%) 147 Serbs (0.6%) 19 Yugoslavs (0.07%) 9 Bosniaks (0.03%) 31 others (0.1%). Now we can see why Siroki Brijeg was so dangerous. They couldn't destroy Croatian nationality in their minds, hearts and souls. Similar situation like in Zrinjski Mostar. They play on Pecara Stadium, a modern stadium with a capacity of about 8,000. The stadium itself meets all UEFA criteria. The club also has a fully equipped sports and recreational center just outside of town which is used as training grounds for the team. The club wears blue and white striped jerseys at home while away the team has a yellow kit. The club's crest features a football bordered by the club's name and topped with the Croatian chequy. Fans of Siroki Brijeg: Skripari. This means Crusaders. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Škripari "The very name Škripari (or križari to be more precise, which means crusaders) is in tribute to remnants of Ustashe forces, originally known by that name, who resisted communist rule in Yugoslavia for several years after World War II and presented an unsolvable enigma to the communist authorities of that time. They would often hide in caves (local term being the so called škripine) and thus the name Škripari." "Škripari support the Croatian national football team primarily, as well as other Croatian national teams and Croatian players." The official song of the Škripari is "Igraj, igraj Široki" (Play Široki, Play). Honours: Široki won two Bosnia and Herzegovina championships as well as five First League of Herzeg-Bosnia championships that served as the top football league for Croats clubs in Bosnia and Herzegovina until merger into Premier League in 2000. The club also won one Bosnia and Herzegovina Football Cup title in 2007. In the following table defunct competitions are indicated in italics.

I found one verse about devotion of Siroki Brijeg for GNK Dinamo Zagreb: "Oj Dinamo, 'ko udari na te, s Lištice će pucati granate" "Oh Dinamo, who hits on you, from Lištica we will shoot grenades". River Lištica passes through Široki Brijeg. Everyone knew that Croatian clubs suffered during Yugoslavia, many of them were banned just because their coat of arms and colors of jerseys. But Croats would rather accept the ban than to change their Croatian colors and symbols. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lištica_River

http://www.pobijeni.info/povijesneokolnosti/index Google Translator: Historical circumstances Members of various military, militia and other organizations, organized and run by the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (KPJ) killed 511 people from the structure of the Catholic Church. Of that number, 184 were from Bosnia and Herzegovina. During the Second World War, members of different partisan units killed 314 Catholic priests, and after the war during the Communist Party government has killed more 118 people the church. On the Way of the Cross of the members of the partisan units were killed 64, while on military service for 15 church people. Suffering priests certainly were not random, sporadic, they are usually planned and are usually accompanied by intense propaganda. Can serve as an illustration of the article from the struggle of 8 veljače 1945., which was taken in Trebinje (Mostar) Freedom. The article is titled Ustasha villains in Fratarski cassock, and the end of the article full of hatred and lunches writes: "Against the butchers in Friar cassock our people's government shall take the necessary measures to our people in Bosnia and Herzegovina to ensure a quiet and peaceable life." The article is probably written in the 7 . February when the communist partisans killed Široki Brijeg monks. Just a few days later, when entering the partisan units in Mostar, killed the Provincial of the Herzegovinian Franciscan Province of Leo Petrović and six monks. Fr Mark Barbaric - Lesko, sick and immobile old man, partisans took to the shelter and killed with the other monks Siroki Brijeg monastery. His murder demonstrates how important they were supposed political or any other sins, for the death penalty was enough to be a priest." Neither the nuns were not spared by the communist repression. Regina Milas was executed in Capljina. From Siroki Brijeg driven out in February, 10 nurses, after they killed the monks, on the truck to Split, where for a time were housed at the Sisters Split Province. The other sisters remained in their homes, placed in small rooms. The houses were nationalized them, and then the 1949th ejected from them. Immediately after the war the Communist Party initiated the printing of books that were used to compromise the Church, as well as a cover for repression of the clergy. The church is at party gatherings branded hostile organization, the articles were printed in newspapers, anticrkvene sung songs and the like! Even 75 Catholic priests, of whom 52 were Croats, who have collaborated with the partisans and had the status of the participants of the National Liberation struggle, not helped in the general assessment of the Catholic Church. Nor the 43 Catholic priests, of whom 18 were Croats, who during the war as a partisan colleagues killed Chetniks, Ustashi, or members of the German and Italian troops. Particularly difficult was the position of the Catholic Church in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where Croats are Catholics identified with the Croatian state, but also marked defeated the Ustasha regime. Each term is denoted Croationhood Ustashism. In the first period after taking power in the Croatian areas of Herzegovina, the Yugoslav Communist Party was appointed trustees, whose task was to deceive the order, to assert authority and simultaneously form a party cell. Usually, these commissioners were partisan officers, and most officers of the Department to protect the people (OZN). (According to the article, Dr. Ivo Lucic "Communist repression of the Catholic Church in BiH / 1945th-1990th /" in Stolac the cultural spring, VI. Matica Croatia, Chair, 2008., P.. 71st-92nd) On these pages we will endeavor to provide materials that will help you facilitate the conclusion of the mosaic relationship of Communists to the Church in this period. This is also the attitude towards the Croatian people who are mostly Catholic.
Croatian declaration which was made in Croatian Parliament agreed that communism is an criminal act of violence and breaking of human rights: Google Translator: http://www.pobijeni.info/povijesneokolnosti/clanak/6 Declaration on the condemnation of the crimes committed during the totalitarian communist order in Croatia 1945th - 1990. Sunday, 16 August 2009. | Documents 1st The totalitarian communist regimes which ruled in Central and Eastern Europe in the last century, and who are still in power in several countries around the world, were, without exception, marked by mass injuries of human rights. 2nd Violations of human rights differed depending on culture, country and historical period, and included individual and collective assassinations and executions, death in concentration camps, starvation, deportation, torture, forced labor and other forms of mass physical and psychological terror, persecution on ethnic and religious basis, violation of freedom of conscience, thought and expression, freedom of the press and also a lack of political pluralism. 3rd Crimes of Communism were justified in the name of "theory" of class struggle and the principle of dictatorship of the workers (proletariat). The interpretation of both principles legitimized the "elimination" of people who are considered dangerous to build a new society and, as such, enemies of the totalitarian communist regime. A large number of victims in each country were citizens of that country. 4th The fall of totalitarian communist regimes (regimes) in Central and Eastern Europe was not in all cases, even in the case of the Croatian, followed by national and / or international investigations of crimes that were committed by these regimes. Indeed, the perpetrators of these crimes are brought to the international community, as was the case with the atrocities committed by National Socialism (Nazism). 5th As a result, it is very low awareness of the former communist countries, including the Croatian public about the crimes committed by totalitarian communist regimes. Communist parties are legal and active in some countries, although in some cases they have not distanced themselves from the crimes committed by totalitarian communist regimes in the past. 6th Croatian Parliament is convinced that knowledge and awareness of people about the historical events of one of the preconditions to avoid similar atrocities in the future. Indeed, moral assessment and condemnation of crimes committed play an important role in educating the young generation. The clear position of the international and national communities for the past can and should be a guideline for our future actions. 7th Croatian Parliament believes that victims of crimes of totalitarian communist regimes who are still alive or their families, deserve sympathy, understanding and recognition of their suffering. 8th Totalitarian communist regimes are still active in some countries and the crimes still occur. Perceptions of national interest should not prevent countries from adequate criticism of the current totalitarian communist regimes. Croatian Parliament strongly condemns all those violations of human rights. 9th The debates and condemnations - which have so far carried out at national level, some Member States of the Council of Europe, as well as the condemnation of crimes of totalitarian communist contained in the resolution of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe on the international condemnation of crimes of totalitarian communist regimes (regimes) - and committed by the Croatian Parliament to condemn each and all crimes in the name of totalitarian Communism committed against Croats and Croatian citizens in the country and the world. 10th Croatian Parliament supported the decision of the Council of Europe that it is precisely these institutions (Council of Europe) is a forum for discussion and condemnation of the crimes of communism at the international level. Almost all former European communist countries are now members and the protection of human rights and the rule of law are basic values for which it holds the Council of Europe. Meanwhile, the Croatian Parliament considers that he should become a key national institution for the condemnation of the crimes of the Yugoslav and Croatian totalitarian communism, and to systematically study the history of these crimes should be addressed by the scientific and judicial institutions. 11th Therefore, the Croatian Parliament joins the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly strongly condemned the mass violations of human rights by totalitarian communist regimes and expresses sympathy, understanding and recognition of the victims of these crimes in Croatia, Europe and worldwide. 12th Croatian Parliament joins the call by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe sent to all communist or post-communist parties to their own countries, if they have not done so, re-evaluate the history of communism and their own past, clearly distance themselves from the crimes committed by totalitarian communist regimes and to condemn them without any ambiguity. 13th Croatian Parliament shares the belief of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe that this clear position of the international community to enable further reconciliation. Indeed, it will be possible to encourage historians throughout the world to continue their research aimed at determining the objective verification of what had happened. Croatian Parliament, 30 June 2006.
