Summary/Abstract: The last years of the World War I in Bosnia and Herzegovina were remembered for enormous scarceness of food and famine that was fatal for many of its inhabitants. The example of Sanski Most is illustrative of the problems relating the distribution of food through the Government’s offices and decrees, which was marked by various forms of corruption, speculation and war profiteering. The story of food scarcity and speculations is told through a report made upon the investigation conducted in Sanski Most between 3 February and 1 May 1918.
