Don Pavao Zanki (1893-1909)

Sa？etak The author divides the article devoted to don Pavao Zanki, the distinguished reformer and politician from Nin, into three parts. The first part includes the basics of his life such as his background, schooling, service and political activity. The second part discusses in a more detailed fashion his part in the revival, his part in the dissemination and enrichment of the Croatian national consciousness. This was the reason for his being elected in Northern Dalmatia into the Dalmatian Council and why the people of Nin regularly elected him as their representative from the county. In the third and longest part the author discusses Zanki's move from the People's Party to the Party of Right. He goes on to discuss Zanki's role in the establishment of the Dalmatian Party of Right, the divisions that took place within its ranks and the establishment of the Pure Party of Right where Zanki was first vice-president and afterward president. In conclusion, the author emphasises and valorises Zanki's contribution to the processes of Croatian national integration especially in Nin and the Nin area and concludes his paper with a succinct and coherent evaluation of his entire political activity
