This article is about Dalmatian Action from 1990s. For Dalmatian Action funded in 2022, see [Dalmatian Action (2022)](/source/Dalmatian_Action_(2022)).

**Dalmatian Action** (Croatian: *Dalmatinska akcija*, DA) was a 1990s [regionalist](/source/Regionalism_(politics)) and [autonomist](/source/Autonomism) party in the region of [Dalmatia](/source/Dalmatia) within [Croatia](/source/Croatia), that advocated for the political [autonomy](/source/Autonomy) of Dalmatia within Croatia, including the creation of a Dalmatian [regional government](/source/Regional_government) with a [legislative assembly](/source/Legislative_assembly), with autonomy over cultural issues involving Dalmatia.[2] It was founded in December 1990.[3] During the [Croatian War of Independence](/source/Croatian_War_of_Independence), [Croatian President](/source/President_of_Croatia) [Franjo Tuđman](/source/Franjo_Tu%C4%91man) accused the DA of being an [anti-Croat](/source/Anti-Croat_sentiment) [separatist](/source/Separatism) organization in league with [Serb separatists](/source/Log_revolution) intent on breaking up Croatia, the DA responded to Tuđman's accusation by denying its validity, saying that it was only interested in autonomy, and said that an autonomous Dalmatia would be a beneficial means to end the Serbian aggression and terrorism of Serbs from self-proclaimed [Krajina](/source/SAO_Krajina), as Dalmatian autonomy could insure Dalmatian Serbs' autonomy from the central government in [Zagreb](/source/Zagreb), as an alternative to Serb autonomy or independence.[3]

In the [1992 Croatian parliamentary election](/source/1992_Croatian_parliamentary_election), it won a seat in the [Croatian Parliament](/source/Croatian_Parliament),[4] but failed to pass the [threshold](/source/Election_threshold) in subsequent elections.[1]

On February 20, 2003, the [Ministry of Justice](/source/Ministry_of_Justice_(Croatia)) erased the party from the register of political parties in Croatia, which was protested by the remaining party members including president Luka Meštrović and long-time member Mira Ljubić-Lorger.[5]

The party journal *Glas Dalmacije* (lit. The Voice of Dalmatia) was published between 1994 and 2000.[6]
