Summary/Abstract: A great number of historic discussions, articles, analyses, as well as publicist monographies, has been produced about the Concordat crisis dating from 1937. Numerous attempts have been made to analyse this extraordinary event from different points of view and conclusion. Apart from certain doubts that remained unclear, it seems that abundant file materials have been relatively well explored and processed and that the main sources for closer understanding of the event are more-less familiar to scientific and wider reading audience. Various leaflets, posters, proclamations, and official legal and scientific analyses, that appeared in the period of crisis, were supposed to involve Yugoslav, primarily Serbian, public into resolving of the issue that was of strictly diplomatic-legal nature. It was used by certain church and political circles as a reason for the change of the government. In political vocabulary were introduced the topics that petrified, and even obstructed political life and it led the discussions into completely wrong direction. The manner of creating public opinion, decasyllable argumentation and trivial disputes with political opponents are the topics analyzed in the article. The subject of creating public awareness is a research topic of this article that it tries to bring to light using the example of the Concordat Crisis.
