History

Perspective
Pribislavec is first mentioned in the 14th century as possessio Pobozlouhaza as a possession of the Lacković noble family.[3] In a charter issued in 1478 the village is recorded as Pribislawecz.[4] Its name is derived from the personal name Pribislav which is of Slavic origin. In 1870, count Juraj Feštetić built the Neo-Gothic Feštetić Castle in the village.[5]
The Municipality of Pribislavec was established in October 2001.[6]
2019 Anti-Romani Demonstrations
On June 1, 2019, a group led by Alen Pancer, a veteran of the Croatian War of Independence, announced anti-romani demonstrations under the title "I want a normal life" (Croatian: Želim normalan život) at the county's administrative center in Čakovec.[7] Veljko Kajtazi, the parliamentary representative of the Roma national minority, expressed his surprise with the singling out of the Roma which disturbed the entire community.[8] Kajtazi expressed his dissatisfaction with the fact that the City of Čakovec did not permit the follow-up counter-protest for the next day.[8] Kajtazi's press conference in the Croatian Parliament was interrupted by Croatian Growth MP Hrvoje Zekanović.[8] The independent Serb weekly paper Novosti wrote that the organizer of the demonstration was Željka Markić, a sympathizer of Ruža Tomašić who is associated with nationalist and right wing groups.[9] The organizers denied that the protest was anti-Romani stating that even "among the Roma there are honorable and honest people".[8] The European Roma Rights Centre called upon authorities of the Međimurje County to clarify why they supported the protest stating that "it is unacceptable for a multicultural, democratic and antifascist state to tolerate demonstrations against entire groups of people".[10] Prior to gathering, the demonstration was condemned by the President of the Union of Roma in Croatia, Suzana Krčmar and the representative of the Međimurje Roma community, Matija Oršuš.[8] Pribislavec Municipality Mayoress Višnja Ivačić expressed her full support for the demonstration and invited other municipalities in the county to join in.[11]
