The flag of the political party Action of Social Democrats of
Croatia (Akcija socijaldemokrata Hrvatske) is
red-white-blue (1:2:1) with four coloured heartlike petals.
Željko Heimer, 24 May 1998
Established: Zagreb, 22 October 1994. Members: 1995 (3.500),
1996 (3.800), 1997 (3.800), 1998 (4.000), 1999 (4.200). Members
in Croatian Parliament: 1992-1995 - 4 (2,89%), 1995-1997 - 1
(0,78%). The party is legal inheritor of the Socialist Alliance -
Union of Socialist of Croatia (Socijalisticki savez - Savez
socijalista Hrvatske; established in 1990). The ASH was lead by
Miko Tripal, one of the foremost leaders of the "Croatian
Movement" in 1971, and afterwards by Silvije Degen. Today
ASH has certain influence in the City of Zagreb. The emblem of
the party is a fourleaved clover of green, red, blue and yellow,
and this was initially used in the flags as well. The flags were
red-white-bleu with the white being double the width of each of
the other two with the quatrefoil in the middle. The current
statutes define the flag differently, with the party seal in the
middle: an oval seal outlined in red abnd blue with the name of
the party in black along the perimeter and in line in base and
the initials ASH in red letters in the middle. The quatrefoil is
still the party emblem, but it is not used in the flags. The
party flag is often to be seen in AZgreb on the party
headquarters in the Gunduliceva Streeet.
