Stjepan Kljuić[pronunciation?] (born 19 December 1939) is a Bosnian Croat politician and academic who has been an active participant in Bosnian politics since Bosnian independence.
Career
Stjepan Kljuić was a member of the presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina and a founding member of the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) party in 1990. He served as the president of the Bosnian branch of the Croatian Democratic Union and protested that Croats should support the elected government of Alija Izetbegović.[1]
The central HDZ leadership in Zagreb pressured local leadership in Croatian Republic of Herzeg-Bosnia to depose him of his leadership position.[2] He was replaced with Mate Boban.[1]
Upon founding of the Olympic Committee of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992, Kljuić was elected its first president.[3] In 1994, he founded his own party, the Republican Party,[4] a multi-ethnic, pro-Bosnia party. He stood as the party's candidate for the Croat member of the Presidency in the 2002 general elections, but failed to be elected.[citation needed]
Later, Kljuić took part[clarification needed] in the ICTY proceedings.[5]
