The Democratic Alliance of Croats in Vojvodina (Serbian: Демократски Савез Хрвата у Војводини / Demokratski savez Hrvata u Vojvodini; Croatian: Demokratski savez Hrvata u Vojvodini; abbreviation: DSHV / ДСХВ) is a minority political party of ethnic Croats in the Serbian province of Vojvodina, founded on July 15, 1990.

History

Over time, some party members were unsatisfied with party's policy, so they separated and formed new Croat parties:

In 2009 DSHV negotiated with another ethnic Croat party from Syrmia region of Vojvodina, the Hrvatska srijemska inicijativa / Hrvatska sremska inicijativa (Croatian Syrmian Initiative). It was planned that HSI and DSHV unite on June 5, 2009 on the meeting in Sremska Mitrovica.[1]
