It's impossible for any Croatian nationalist movement to reject the Slavic heritage because part of our heritage is our language, which is undoubtedly Slavic and there is nothing that could (or should) be done about that.
But every Croatian nationalist movement rejects Panslavism, because it is an ideology that has wrought much misfortune to the Croatian nation in the past.

Following Romuva? That's strange, but not surprising concerning the very intricate and complicated relationship between Belarus and Lithuania in the past.
At any rate, Belarusian is a Slavic and not a Baltic language.
Whiteruthenian, what do you think about that?

You think that sound nationalist movement could be based on such constructs? Hmmm...I am not sure...
