National Progressive Party (Carniola)

The National Progressive Party was a political party in the Carniola region of Austria-Hungary. It was established in 1894 by Ivan Tavčar as the National Party of Carniola ; it was renamed The National Progressive Party in 1905. It continued to operate under this name until after the First World War, when it merged with the National Party of Styria into the Yugoslav Democratic Party, only to be incorporated into the pan-Yugoslav State Party of Serbian, Croatian and Slovene Democrats less than a year later.
The National Progressive Party adopted a liberal nationalist political stance and had a clear majority in the municipal council of Ljubljana-Laibach during the 1880s.
