Summary/Abstract: Based on archival material stored in the State Archives in Bjelovar, the Croatian State Archives in Zagreb and Czech-minority publications the author wishes to reconstruct the question of obtaining citizenship for the members of the Czech minority in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, later the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, taking the Bjelovar-Bilogora County as the representative one, since it had the largest number of members of the Czech minority living in it. The intention is to show how (un)resolving the question of citizenship affected minority attitudes towards key political events and governing structures of that time period and how it reflected on that minority’s wishes and needs, which largely determined further guidelines for their activities, as well as their role in the political life of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, later the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
