Andrej Hlinka (1864–1938), a Roman Catholic priest, as a prominent personality of the Slovak political and religious life, identified himself with the Cyril and Methodius reverence and tradition. He considered it an important element of the Slovak and Slavic religious and national identity. He showed his reverence for Cyril and Methodius by participating in pilgrimages and congresses held in the Moravian town Velehrad. Hlinka spread the Cyril and Methodius cult despite the opposition of the Hungarian church hierarchy. After the establishment of the Czechoslovak Republic in 1919, he organized the central Cyril and Methodius festivities in Slovakia. He considered the Cyril and Methodius cult to be the orthodox cult which, in union with the Catholic Church, could overcome the onslaught of secularism and sects.

This paper examines the Croatian Peasant Party’s (HSS) view of Hlinka’s Slovak People’s Party (HSĽS) during the 1930s, framing their cooperation as an example of solidarity between stateless nations. Despite significant ideological differences – HSS’s agrarianism versus HSĽS’s political Catholicism – the two parties were united by their shared struggles against centralizing state powers in Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia. From the HSS perspective, the Slovak pursuit of autonomy, and eventually separation from Czechoslovakia, was seen as both a source of inspiration and a potential warning for their own negotiations with Belgrade, highlighting the possibility of a similar path toward separation. The HSS expressed solidarity through diplomatic gestures, such as Maček’s condolences upon Hlinka’s death, and public discourse emphasizing mutual struggles for self-determination. This study highlights how the Slovak declaration of independence in 1939 served as a potential model for Croatian aspirations, while the HSS pursued a more pragmatic path through the Cvetković-Maček Agreement.
