The Croatian Peasant Party of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Шаблон:Lang-hr or HSS BiH) is a Croatian political party in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Since the legacy and the brand of the historic Croatian Peasant Party from the early 20th Century (led by Stjepan Radić and Vladko Maček) is popular and well-known, there have been couple of splinter groups and various parties in Bosnia and Herzegovina have a similar name, invoking CPP tradition.

History

HSS BiH was found on 18 April 1993 as an effort led by Ivo Komšić and Napredak to create democratic opposition to HDZ policies.

HSS joined HDZ 1990 and other minor Croat parties to form "Croats Together" coalition, challenging HDZ in 2006 elections.

In 2007, HSS and the New Croatian Initiative merged. The New Croatian Initiative was formed earlier as a splinter group from the Croatian Democratic Union of Bosnia and Herzegovina by Krešimir Zubak. The merger was originally named HSS-NHI. After HSS-NHI underwent turmoil and internal divisions grew, a division of former HSS members led by Ljiljana Lovrić left the party and reestablished Croatian Peasant Party of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2010. Weakened HSS joined HDZ and other minor center-right parties in a coalition to contest 2010 elections, opposed to the Croatian Coalition.

In February 2017, party president Mario Karamatić said HSS will demand a reestablishment of Croatian Republic of Herzeg-Bosnia in its 1995 shape if the Republika Srpska secedes.[1] Karamatić declared Croats have been "fooled" by the 1994 Washington Agreement that abolished Herzeg-Bosnia and established the Croat-Bosniak Federation, that this agreement was also broken numerous times and that Croats have the right to recede to the status quo ante, i.e., Herzeg-Bosnia.[2] As far as the Herzeg-Bosnia's tentative territory, Karamatić proposed the area Шаблон:Webarchive served by the electricity utility Elektroprivreda HZ HB,[3] which covers most areas of Croat habitation.[4]
