Tito was a Croat himself, so yes - he is still a very popular figure. Croatia was ruled by the nazi Germany as a puppet state, some right wing lunatics still praise that era, but the majority of people dismiss it. Far right is always loud, but they are a small minority of the population.
How popular was Tito in Croatia? Also, a croation friend tells me that Hitler and the Nazis were popular among croations and still are. Is this true?
