: Strossmayer's National Party was in favour of the unity of the Croatian and Serbian people only on condition that the Serbs eventually merge with the Croats. To achieve this more easily and quickly, Pozor raised its voice against the setting up of any separate Serbian institutions and societies in Croatia. Characteristic in this respect is the setting up of the society of the United Serbian Youth in Zagreb, under the name of Zvezda. When the society was constituted early in 1867, the National Party took offence. Pozor complained: "For such a society to be set up in Budapest, Vienna, Munich or anywhere in foreign parts is quite natural; young people in a foreign world like to get together and remember their homeland. For the Serbs, even if they were born in Serbia - not to speak of Orthodox Croats - to feel in Zagreb as if they were abroad, this is something we did not know or expect." 
: Strossmayer's National Party believed that in the Triune Kingdom there is only one, namely, Croatian political people. In accordance with that, they treated the Serbs in the Triune Kingdom as a part of the Croat political people and not as a separate diplomatic, what is today known as constitutive people. For this reason they opposed Subotic's proposal, not wanting to share state sovereignty with the Serbs and, even indirectly, by introducing the Serbian name in the Sabor's address, recognise that the Serbs have their political individuality. The most determined stand was taken by Dragojlo baron Kuslan: "This state of ours, which is known to our ruler and to the rest of the diplomatic world exclusively as Croatian, nor can it be called any other way, we cannot share with anybody in the world for the sake of any accord. Therefore, our Serbian brothers should not ask us for it, because thereby they will ask our death." Because of the hard line adopted by the majority of the Croat deputies, particularly those from the ranks of the National Party which was led by Strossmayer and Racki, Subotic's motion was voted down and the expression "our people", proposed in the draft of the address, remained in its final version. 
This may all be valid, but there is no explanation of who or what is Pozor, and who is Subotic and what is his/her proposal. It looks like copy&paste so it's a potential copyright violation. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 19:02, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

message: This article currently espouses the view that Strossmayer was loyal to the Habsburgs, quotes: He was, like ban Jelačić, a supporter of the Austrian Habsburg Monarchy, and Strossmayer supported the union of all south Slavic peoples under the aegis of the Habsburgs. But the Yugoslavism article presents a different story (with refs), quotes: Yugoslavist leader Strossmayer advocating this as being achievable within a federalized Yugoslav monarchy, and Strossmayer and Serbian foreign minister Ilija Garašanin agreed to work together to create "a Yugoslav state free from Austria or Turkey.".
I do not have time right now to check the references, but obviously work is needed for this article and for the Yugoslavism one. Notrium (talk) 18:36, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
