This controversy seems to have more heat than light. Those of us who
are not familiar with the politics of the region do not have the
background in the topic to be able to comment meaningfully about the
topic. It seems that you are trying to talk about the origin of the
name "Ustase", and you would do better to put your additions in those
terms, and not to put it in the very first paragraph of the article
which is really intended to just identify the topic for the reader.
The article itself is not about the 17th century group, but perhaps that
earlier group deserves its own separate article.
