As one of the key participants in the Croatian national movement called the Croatian Spring, Miko Tripalo in his dissident phase wrote reviews in which he analysed the issue of inter-ethnic relations in Yugoslavia. Tripalo's critical observations were directed at the actions of Croatian politicians who had gained affirmation after the fall of the Croatian Spring – people like Stipe Šuvar and Milka Planinc. Those notes are valuable contributions to a critical reflection on the open issues of Croatian national emancipation.
