About Jovan Rašković

Jovan Rašković was a Croatian Serb politician. He was leader of the Serb Democratic Party. In February 1990, Rašković went into politics and founded and led the Serb Democratic Party (SDS), which took part in the first Croatian democratic elections. Although the SDS won relatively few seats in the 1990 elections, it quickly began to increase its power, and Rašković was soon perceived as a leader of Serbs by Franjo Tuđman and his new government. If I hadn't created this emotional strain in the Serbian people, nothing would have happened.
