In April 1990, both Slovenia and Croatia held the first multiparty elections in Yugoslavia since the late 1930s. A coalition of six parties called DEMOS that campaigned on an independence platform received 55 percent of the Slovene vote. In Croatia, Franjo Tudjman�s blatantly nationalistic and separatist Croatian Democratic Union received 70 percent. News accounts conveyed the resurgence of nationalist politics in Slovenia and Croatia, along with a distinct flavor of ethnic chauvinism pitting these Westernized republics against the other, less advanced counterparts. Hayden notes that on July 2, 1990, the Slovene parliament declared Slovenia�s "complete sovereignty," and that the "republic�s laws superseded those of the federation." Then on July 25, Croatia�s parliament did likewise, making Croatia "a politically and economically sovereign state" (Tudjman).

"He is your standard charismatic, funny, engaging student," said Luke Tryl, 20, the former president of the Oxford Union debating society.
