message: The page doesn't mention Rašković's involvement in writing the SANU Memorandum of 1986. Some sources claim that he co-authored the memorandum, but I cannot find satisfactory confirmation of that. The sources that make that claim (such as ) and the weaker claim that the memorandum was being reviewed in his Primošten house () seem highly biased and unreliable. On the other hand, this book doesn't mention Rašković as being part of the memorandum committee.   Although the objectivity of a book that openly vindicates the Memorandum is highly questionable, I see no reason for its authors to omit Rašković's name.
Maybe the wikipedia page should at least mention that Rašković maintained ties with Dobrica Ćosić and other prominent Serbian academics in the 1980's, some of whom were involved in the Memorandum. Rašković's 1990 involvement in politics was a result of these connections, not an accident. 83.131.72.99 16:39, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Unfortunately, sources say so not me. Croatian historian Roksandić Drago, page 99, ("Raškoviću je majka bila Hrvatica...Raskovic's mother was Croatian,...Otac mu je bio sudac Pavelićevog suda, dakle,
davao je legalnost ustaškoj državi...His father was a judge of Pavelic's court, so
he gave legality to the Ustasha state), we have and this source, Plevnik Danko, 1994,  page 4, ("Rašković je bio psihijatar s jakim živcima, upravo onakvim kakve je imao njegov otac koji je kao Srbin bio sudac u Nezavisnoj Državi Hrvatskoj...Raskovic was a psychiatrist with strong nerves, just like his father, who as a Serb was a judge in the Independent State of Croatia.) . These are quality sources that must be respected. If there are some problems here there are Wikipedia options which can be used, simple WP:JUSTDONTLIKEIT is not a solution.

replies: text: Agree with  This is a reliable source, and the author himself (Roksandic) is a Croatian Serb,  professor emeritus of modern history who researched history of Serbs in Croatia and wrote a book about it. Any sources that say the opposite? Ponor (talk) 10:56, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  I have not found sources which say opposite. Otherwise source of Roksandic was publish in Beograd, (Narodna biblioteka Srbije..National Library of Serbia). Mikola22 (talk) 14:37, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

text: This is really a minor point, it's about his parents and not him. The source itself, as Mikola22 says, was published and peer-reviewed in Serbia, I'd think someone would complain were the claim not true. My bigger concern is that this biography has no mention of Raskovic's manipulative agenda in the 1990s (also practiced by another psychiatrist he inspired, Radovan Karadžić). Check this UN report(pdf) (also here at archive.org) "Just as political opponents of the regime were demonized, the attributes of Serbs were idealized.  Jovan Raskovic, who was to become a founder of Croatia's Serbian Democratic Party (SDSC), for example, wrote that «the Serbs are ... the only ones with an instinct for leadership and they must exercise it over the other peoples of Yugoslavia. They must dominate them.» Croats, according to Raskovic, «are castrated and afraid of everything. They cannot exercise any authority.  It is up to the Serbs to guide them.»  On the other hand, «Muslims have anal-erotic personalities and are the sort who love to amass riches.»  Raskovic, a psychiatrist, helped to organize the referendum on political autonomy for the Krajina Serbs in Croatia.  The event led to an armed confrontation between Croats and Croatian Serbs. Shortly before he died, Raskovic stated on Belgrade television that he felt responsible for having «lit the fuse of Serbian nationalism».  There has been much speculation that Radovan Karadzic, also a psychiatrist, may have been influenced by Raskovic's theories of Serb superiority. In May 1990, when Karadzic was asked if he had a role-model or mentor, he responded, «above all, Jovan Raskovic»." Ponor (talk) 15:23, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

text: *I support you, find quality sources and that's it. I found a couple of Croatian sources, but most of them talk about his political activities and I don't know how interesting this is for the article, also article already say something about it. Mikola22 (talk) 20:58, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
