The Democratic Alliance of Croats in Vojvodina (Serbo-Croatian: Demokratski savez Hrvata u Vojvodini, Демократски савез Хрвата у Војводини; abbr. ДСХВ or DSHV) is a political party in Serbia, representing the Croat ethnic minority in the province of Vojvodina.

History[]

Over time, some party members were unsatisfied with party's policy, so they separated and formed new Croat parties:

Hrvatski narodni savez (Croatian National Alliance) – in 1998 (this fraction has been reincorporated into DSHV on February 29, 2004)
Hrvatska bunjevačko-šokačka stranka (Croatian Bunjevac-Šokac Party)
Demokratska zajednica Hrvata (Democratic Union of Croats) – in 2007

In 2009 DSHV negotiated with another ethnic Croat party from Syrmia region of Vojvodina, the Hrvatska srijemska inicijativa / Hrvatska sremska inicijativa (Croatian Syrmian Initiative). It was planned that HSI and DSHV unite on June 5, 2009 on the meeting in Sremska Mitrovica.^[1]
