Mate Boban (1940 - July 7,1997) was a Herzegovian Croat politician and leader of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian Croats during the Bosnian-Herzegovinian War. Boban was the first and only president of the short lived Herzeg-Bosnia which was never recognized but existed between 1991-1994. He was virulently anti-Bosniak and maintained friendly relationships with the Serbs even when the Croats were fighting the JNA. Wikipedia
