you and serbs in general have a wrong perception because you equate the non-existence of rights of serbs in the ottoman empire with the status of croats in the monarchy. which slaves have statehood (domestic aristocracy leading the country, national parliament, autonomous government and own passport)? the croatian aristocracy in the parliament elected the habsburgs as kings of croatia precisely to avoid the serbian fate, to be slaves to the turks. that was an extremely wise move, croatia was saved.
