PRILOG ISTORIJI IDEJA О RAZGRANIČENJU I PREUREĐENJU KRALJEVINE JUGOSLAVIJE UOČI DRUGOG SVETSKOG RATA
A CONTRIBUTION TO THE HISTORY OF IDEAS REGARDING BORDER DEMARCATION AND REFORM IN THE KINGDOM OF YUGOSLAVIA BEFORE WORLD WAR II

Summary/Abstract: This article is a study of bourgeois ideologies existent in Yugoslavia between the two world wars (1918 - 1941), with special reference to ideas regarding reform and the demarcation of borders in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia at the time the Cvetković - Maček Agreement was signed in 1939. The Agreement was an attempt to resolve the so called »Croatian issue« by recognizing a separate Croatian administrative area, Banovina Hrvatska. Presented here are Vlatko Maček’s demands concerning demarcation made (in a whoever-bids-more style of bargaining) in the course of his negotiations with the Prime Minister Dragiša Cvetković, relations with the Serbian opposition parties which voiced their demands for reform through Branko Ćubrilović, the views of the military circles and of Jovan Jovanović, the farmers' leader, the ideas of Prince Pavle, the Montenegrin federalists and the autonomists from Vojvodina. The study presented here is part of the research done for the author’s doctoral thesis entitled »Ideologies of the Bourgeois Parties and Movements Concerning State Reform in Yugoslavia«, defended by the author at the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade.
