- During the 45 years of Communist regime in Croatia a very particular form of censorhip had been devised and practised by employees of printing houses. No law or regulation had presupposed or allowed the workers to have a say on whether a particular manuscript should be published or not. However, despite that fact, from the early onset of Communist ruling, the workers in some printing houses refused to print books, magazines and newspapers of religious, "counter-state", "subversive" and similar contents, without waiting for an official court ruling against the publication of such materials. Thus in 1945 the workers refused to print the magazine entitled The Voice of the People – of Humanity, Freedom and Justice issued by the regime-opposed Croatian Farmers’ Party. Next followed numerous other "self-governed" decisions of typographers and graphic workers. Thus workers refused to publish a Split-based magazine The Criticism (1954), as well as magazines such as Croatian Literary Journal (1968), Croatian Weekly (1971), philosophy serial Praxis (1975), a novel by Jozo Laušić entitled The Monastery (1972) etc. Many of the publications rejected by the workers had never been officially censored by the court rulings. There had been many such examples, particularly during the first decades of the "self-governing socialism" in the cases where publications contained religious topics and similar "undesirable ideas". In fact, workers of the printing houses had never been allowed by their superiors to make any form of decisions, nor would the Communist Party allow such incentives. The decisions on not printing a particular publication had been made behind the closed doors during the meetings of the higher party committees, to be proceeded down (in the form of a phone call) to the party committees operating within the printing houses, and who were then obliged to call a workers’ meeting, i.e. a meeting of the self-governing bodies of the printing-house, where the actual decisions on refusing a manuscript would in turn be "made".
