  • Description: The Gospodarska Sloga Cooperative (Economic Unity Cooperative) was founded in 1935, but it is not known who initiated it. I found a letter from the economist Ivan Kovačić from Međimurje dating from the end of 1921 addressed to Stjepan Radić, in which he encourages the creation of a cooperative institution for the village, whose goals would be identical to the goals of Gospodarska Sloga. It is probable that this letter, preserved in Stjepan Radić’s legacy by Dr. Vladko Maček, came into the hands of Rudolf Bićanić, who designed the structure of Gospodarska Sloga as a public initial engagement, fearing that the organization would suffer the fate of several organizations created during Stjepan Radić’s lifetime and which all perished after his death. Gospodarska Sloga was an organization that competed with the work of the state monopoly organization for the purchase and export of grain and meat abroad, but provided services exclusively to Croatian farmers. In any case, it is interesting to publish a complete letter from Ivan Kovačić, who was educated in Hungary and who did not speak Croatian well and did not know Croatian history, but as a native inhabitant of Međimurje he wanted to encourage Radić to create a central economic organization which would assist the Croatian farmer and increase the quality of life. He also wished to be personally involved in Radić’s party and related affairs. Such an organization was founded under the name of Gospodarska Sloga in 1935, but the idea of its foundation can probably be found in the letter of the economist Ivan Kovačić from 1921, and the realization of the idea in the work of Dr. Rudolf Bićanić dating from 1935.
