context_page_description: Ante Paradžik was a Croatian right-wing politician and communist-era dissident. Paradžik was one of the founders of the Croatian Party of Rights.
context_section_description: Days before Paradžik was assassinated, the Defence Minister of Croatia, Ivan Vekić, told Paraga and Paradžik to instruct Croatian Defence Forces to cease the blockade of the barracks of the Yugoslav People's Army, or face disarmament by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Paradžik was assassinated in front of the building of Ministry of Internal Affairs of Croatia on September 21, 1991. After his assassination, Slobodan Milošević requested (at a peace conference held in The Hague in November 1991) that Franjo Tuđman disarm Croatian Defence Forces and soon afterwards Tuđman issued a command to disarm the Croatian Defence Forces and to ban the Croatian Party of Rights as well as the Serbian nationalist party Serb Democratic Party. Even thought the Croatian Defence Forces had formally been disarmed, they continued to be active in the Croatian War of Independence. The last unit was dissolved on April 5, 1993 in central Bosnia.
  Paradžik was married with three children. His best man was Dražen Budiša, Croatian liberal politician and participant in Croatian Spring.
