The aim of this paper is to examine the relationship between the Serbian Orthodox Church and the Yugoslav state in Vojvodina and Bačka in the context of the new communist regime’s treatment of the ...bishop of Bačka, Irinej Ćirić, from the time of the bishop’s liberation (1944) until his death (1955). Irinej was imprisoned under house arrest for 17 months shortly aft er the partisans captured Novi Sad due to his connections to the Hungarian occupation regime. Upon his release, he was attacked and beaten by a group of locals in Odžaci in 1946. This event, known as the ”Odžaci Affair”, was one of the contentious issues that burdened relations between the church and the state for a long time. The research also looks at how the Diocese of Bačka operated from 1944 to 1955, the attitudes of the clergy - who were closely monitored by the secret service and under pressure from the new authorities - and Irinej and his associates’ positions on certain political and ecclesiastical issues. It also examines at how these issues were resolved through mutual adaptation and a shift in the state’s attitude toward the church.
The paper presents an effort to determine the territorial distribution of factories in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1938, according to branches of industry using the data based on the list of ...industrial enterprises published in Statistics of the Industry of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia (1941). The paper also gives a brief overview of the source material on industry statistics and the very definition of an industrial enterprise.
Based on primary sources, relevant literature and contemporary press, the paper analyzes how the largest South American state, Brazil, was treated in foreign policy of the Yugoslav socialist regime. ...The moment of the re-establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries in 1946 and the year in which diplomatic missions were elevated to the rank of embassies, along with the expansion of trade agreement (1952), were taken as the chronological framework. The article examines how the Cold War divisions, Yugoslav emigration to Brazil, and mutual trade influenced bilateral relations.
Nearly twenty years after it ceased to exist as a multinational federation, Yugoslavia still has the power to provoke controversy and debate. Bringing together contributions from twelve of the ...leading scholars of modern and contemporary South East Europe, this volume explores the history of Yugoslavia from creation to dissolution.
Drawing on the very latest historical research, this book explains how the country came about, how it evolved and why, eventually, it failed. From the start of the twentieth century, through the First World War, the interwar years and the Second World War, to the road to socialism under President Tito and the wars of Yugoslav succession in the 1990s, this volume provides up to date analysis of the causes and consequences of a range of events that shaped the development of this remarkable state across its various iterations. The book concludes by examining post-conflict relations in the era of European integration.
Traversing ninety years of history, this volume presents a fascinating story of how a country that once served as the model for multiethnic states around the world has now become a byword for ethno-national fragmentation and conflict.

"...this is a crucial book which painstakingly restores half-forgotten acotrs to the historical stage. It is indispensable reading for scholars and students alike, as it redresses the balance of agency between elite and non-elite actors, while at the same time highlighting the multifaceted nature of the political issues with which Yugoslavia was faced in both of its incarnations." - Richard Mills, University of East Anglia in European History Quarterly

V nasprotju z apostolskim pismom Maximum illud, ki je od misijonarjev zahtevalo, da pretrgajo vezi z nacional(istič)nimi in kolonialnimi interesi, je bil misijonarski podvig medvojnih jugoslovanskih ...misijonark in misijonarjev v Bengaliji globoko prežet s patriotizmom, tako časopisje kot misijonarski tiski pa so jugoslovanski bengalski misijon prikazovali kot simbolno zmago nove jugoslovanske države. Članek želi to protislovje interpretirati z raziskavo načinov, na katere so usklajevali konflikt med transnacionalnim misijonarskim projektom in nacionalističnimi programi, pri čemer so bili pogosto pred težavno odločitvijo, interesom katere nacije naj sledijo.
U radu se na osnovi izvora, literature i tiska analiziraju napori jugoslavenske diplomacije u cilju ekstradicije bivšega poglavnika Nezavisne Države Hrvatske Ante Pavelića tijekom pedesetih godina ...prošloga stoljeća i reakcije argentinskih državnih organa na te zahtjeve. Posebna pozornost obraća se na političku pozadinu tih reakcija i djelovanje jugoslavenskoga predstavništva u Buenos Airesu.
The former leader of the Independent State of Croatia Ante Pavelić was in Argentina from November 1948. Yugoslav diplomats found out about this in the following months. In the first period they gathered information considering Pavelićʼs whereabouts and susbmitted formal inquiries to the Argentine Ministry of Foreign Affairs. When Pavelićʼs activities became more frequent and more organized, especially with the forming of his government in exile, Yugoslav diplomacy decided to act. In May 1951, the formal extradition was asked. It appears that Argentina never officially replied to the request. The Yugoslav side continued to put pressure on the Argentine Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which made them change their tactics. Obviously, in agreement with Pavelić himself, they tried to make it appear that he had left Argentina and moved to Uruguay. In order to support this hypothesis, Pavelić made his speeches through Radio Montevideo and in interviews, he insisted that journalists write that he was anywhere but Argentina. Argentine officials also spread rumors that he was in Uruguay in conversations with Yugoslav colleagues. Very soon they saw through this game because it was clear that Pavelić was still in Buenos Aires. In the following years there was a similar game. Yugoslav diplomacy tried to convince Argentine colleagues that Pavelić was in their country and they that he was not. The fall of the Peron regime in 1955, did not change the situation. The Yugoslav side tried to use the animosity that the new government had for its predecessors but with little success. Only in 1957 did the situation change as a result of an assassination attempt on Pavelić. At that point it was clear that he was still in Buenos Aires. Yugoslav diplomacy made another request for his extradition only a few days after the assassination attempt. The pressure that was exerted led Pavelić to go into hiding, first in Argentina after which he fled to Chile and finally to Spain at the end of 1957. Unaware of the fact that Pavelić left Argentina, Yugoslav diplomacy continued to fight for his extradition in the following year. They changed tactics and asked for extradition, according to the Argentine law relating to common criminals. This attempt had a flaw in its design. The death penalty that obviously awaited Pavelić in Yugoslavia was not allowed by Argentine laws. The Yugoslav side put itself in a difficult situation because it could not bring itself to declare that Pavelić would not be sentenced to death after extradition. This urged them to slow down the process even more. Pavelićʼs death in 1959 put an end to this eight year long procedure for his extradition to Yugoslavia.
Članak, napisan na osnovu jugoslovenskih arhivskih izvora i relevantne literature, predstavlja analizu stanja na jugoslovensko-rumunskoj granici od završetka Drugog svetskog rata do naglog pogoršanja ...odnosa dveju susednih zemalja posle objavljivanja Rezolucije Informbiroa juna 1948. godine. Prateći stanje bezbednosti na granici, pogranične incidente i funkcionisanje dvovlasničkog režima moguće je uočiti stav i politiku Jugoslavije prema Rumuniji i dešavanjima na njenoj političkoj sceni u periodu njenog preobražaja iz višestranačke monarhije u jednopartijsku republiku sovjetskog tipa.

Countries rarely disappear off the map. In the 20th century, only a few countries shared this fate with Yugoslavia. The dissolution of Yugoslavia led to the largest war in Europe since 1945, massive ...human rights violations and over 100,000 victims. Debating the End of Yugoslavia is less an attempt to re-write the dissolution of Yugoslavia, or to provide a different narrative, than to take stock and reflect on the scholarship to date. New sources and data offer fresh avenues of research avoiding the passion of the moment that often characterized research published during the wars and provide contemporary perspectives on the dissolution. The book outlines the state of the debate rather than focusing on controversies alone and maps how different scholarly communities have reflected on the dissolution of the country, what arguments remain open in scholarly discourse and highlights new, innovative paths to study the period.
Autori su u radu propitali dosege i ograničenja načela kontinuiteta državljanstva u hrvatskom pravnom poretku od završetka Drugog svjetskog rata pa sve do današnjih dana. U radu su stoga posebno ...analizirane promjene do kojih je došlo neposredno nakon Drugog svjetskog rata te stupanjem na snagu Zakona o hrvatskom državljanstvu 8. listopada 1991. godine. Na temelju provedene analize, autori su pokazali da je načelo kontinuiteta bilo važno načelo državljanskog prava u analiziranim razdobljima. Pored navedenog, autori su ukazali i na bitna ograničenja dosega tog načela.
In the paper the authors questioned significance and limits of the principle of continuity of
citizenship in the Croatian legal order in the period from the aftermath of the Second World War
until nowadays. The authors especially analyzed changes immediately after the Second World
War and after the Croatian Citizenship Act of 1991 entered into force. Based on the analysis, the
authors pointed out that the principle of continuity of citizenship was an important rule that secured
continuity of citizenship corpus during the analized period. On the other hand, the authors also
pointed out important limits of that principle.
