On February 20, 2003, the Ministry of Justice erased the party from the register of political parties in Croatia, which was protested by the remaining party members including president Luka Meštrović and long-time member Mira Ljubić-Lorger.{{cite news | url = http://arhiv.slobodnadalmacija.hr/20030313/temedana03.asp | language = Croatian | newspaper = Slobodna Dalmacija | title = Dalmatinsku akciju su ukinule bapske priče | date = 2003-03-13 | author = Mira Ljubić-Lorger | accessdate = 2013-08-01}}
