Eurovision on 5th of May 1990 TV Zagreb has won Yugoslavia election 1988 and Croatian Group from City of Zadar went on Eurovision 1989 and won, so the Eurovision 1990 was in Yugoslavia but politics wanted to be held in Serbia on Belgrade TV but Riva refused so Sarajevo TV was second option Riva also refused that.

Return of ban Jelačić on 16th of October 1990 ban Josip Jelačić (eng.Joseph Jelachich) statue was returned on main Zagreb square
What a crazy year that was...
It is interesting that most international institution take 1992 as a year of break up of Yugoslavia, but actually it all started in 1990 and ended 1990
Later things were just conected with Yugoslavian People Army that didn't want to accept that Croatia is Independent state/country and that they have to leave Croatia. So Army tried to explain its refuseal by protecting Serb minority which was funny because serb minority was so well armed they had more weapons than Croatian Police. So when Serb terorist group Četnik (eng.Chetnik) would attack Police station Croatian policeman would have to surrender because they were just "over-gunned" like in small place "Hrvatska Kostajnica" where Serbian Terorist Chetnik captured about 200 Croatian Policeman and took them as prisoners over Sava river in Bosnia in a Death Camp called Manjača (eng.Manyacha) unfortunatlly many croatian policeman died during sever beating some were just slautered.
First game of New Croatian Football Team 17th October 1990 Croatia had original 1st Team in 1940s and is FIFA member since 1942 Croatia - USA in Zagreb on Maximir Stadium

It was a little bit of "click-bait" from my side i must admit. But on the other side, anybody who was present to see that game or watched it on TV remebers it as vivid as today.
We all new, there is no way back from that point. ALEA IACTA EST Zvonimir Boban was our Gaj Julius Cesar
