The aim of our study is to describe the origin and evolution of the compatriot press on the territory of contemporary Croatia through the long lens of the most recent history. To explain this phenomenon, which has endured for more than a hundred years, we look at the emergence and transformations of the periodical press of Croatian Czechs: the weekly Jugoslávští Čechoslováci [Yugoslav Czechoslovaks], since 1922; the weekly Jednota [Unity], since 1946; the monthly Dětský koutek [Kids’ Corner], since 1930/1932]; the journal Přehled kulturních a historických, literárních a školských otázek [Overview of Cultural, Literary, School, and Historical Topics], since 1962; and the almanac Český lidový kalendář [Czech National Calendar], since 1953. With a particular focus on Czech newspaper reporting published in Croatia, we also examine the role of the periodical press and its significance among the compatriot minority as a means of maintaining the Czech language and the cultural traditions of the Czechs living there. In doing so, we primarily drew on printed sources, i.e. compatriot literature and periodicals that are little known in the Czech Republic. We also worked with sources of institutional origin as well as of a private nature, preserved in the Archives of the Union of the Czechs in Croatia, namely with the personal correspondence of editors of the compatriot press. The uniqueness of the compatriot community lies in its ability to create social and cultural elites and generate its own culture and history, and this has been achieved thanks to the Jednota publishing house, Czech schools, and, above all, the many years of creative and artistic activity of countless compatriots.

This study reflects on the historical experience of the war in Croatia in the beginning of the 1990s through the eyes of children, using a qualitative analysis of their contributions published in the contemporary periodical Náš koutek in the years 1991–1993. The oldest children’s magazine published in the territory of the former Yugoslavia by Czech compatriots in the Czech language became a unique historical source that mediated testimonies about the horrors of war authentically and directly. More than a thousand children from the Daruvar area were separated from their parents and evacuated to accommodation facilities in the Czech Republic, where they remained for a period of nearly five months, and this influenced a significant percent of their contributions. On the basis of analysis of the children’s contributions, it was determined that their experiences from the war can be named through categories of emotions such as fear, love, longing, hope, and pain, which relate to the central phenomenon of change that took place in many aspects of their lives because of the war.
