Općinske uprave u vrijeme šestosiječanjske diktature
MUNICIPAL ADMINISTRATION AT THE TIME OF THE 6th OF JANUARY DICTATORSHIP

Summary/Abstract: This article follows the life of the lowest autonomous administrative units in the territory of the former Banovina of Croatia-Slavonia, later the Sava Banovina, at the time of the 6th of January dictatorship established by king Aleksandar I Karađorđević. The municipality, as an autonomous unit, from 1929 to 1934, was subordinated to a very narrow scope of responsibility by the dictatorial regime through a variety of laws, decrees, and regulations, while the system controlling its operations became stricter. In it, as in all the other autonomous administrative bodies, the regime, through the organs of the state’s administration, abolished all forms of self-administration, replacing autonomous administration with a system of commissariats and the appointment of people loyal to the regime. Without proper self-administration, municipalities at this time lost all their autonomous characteristics and became fixtures of the dictatorial regime.
