White papers and special reports were written on many subjects

Operation Storm (1995); Reintegration of Eastern Slavonia to the Republic of Croatia (1996); NATO and Partnership For Peace (2007). In 2011, Cardinal Vinko Puljic of Sarajevo visited Washington, D.C. and the NFCACF provided the advance and handled the agenda for his trip and then wrote a summary “white paper” too detailing options to modernize the Dayton Peace Accord.

There were many meetings to discuss the difficult status of Bosnian Croats at the US State Department and on Capitol Hill over the past twenty plus years with much communication with diplomats and elected officials, before and after all these meetings. The NFCACF Presidents have had many columns published in different medias, discussing priority issues of importance for the Croatian American community and to a widespread audience.

The House Foreign Affairs Committee (HFA) accepted our official statement as submitted testimony by the NFCACF President at the time, Steve Rukavina, in a Committee Hearing entitled “Threats to Peace and Stability in the Balkans” in May of that year. In addition, as a result of this initiative, we were able to provide “Questions for the Record” for US State Department
witnesses prior to the HFA Hearing in tandem with our submitted testimony. The NFCACF relationships with the US Congress are long established and highly productive from all the letters, special reports and several submissions being published within the Congressional Record to give the Croatian American community more impact and presence with American elected officials.
