Sažetak
In the parliamentary life of the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes
(1918—1929) a number of political parties had an important role. The
Slovenian People’s Party (SPS), Slovenia’s strongest political organisation,
also sought to expand their influence on Vojvodina. Appropriate political
partners were found in the Croatian Catholic population, such as the
Bunjevci and Šokci. In 1920, the Bunjevac-Šokac-Party (B-ŠS) was established
and led by the Catholic priest, Blaško Rajić. In the interim parliament
(1919—1920), the Constituent Assembly (1920—1921), and the National
Assembly (1921—1923) B-ŠS had an impact on SPS and the Croatian
People’s Party (HPS), an integral part of the Croatian Catholic movement in
the joint parliamentary representation called the Yugoslav Club. Members of
the Club promoted the autonomist regulation of the state. In 1924, there
was a division among the Bunjevci and Šokci and the Vojvodina People’s
Party (VPS) was established, with B. Rajić as the elected president. The
party continued political cooperation with SPS (and HPS). Some of the
Bunjevci and Šokci who remained dedicated to the B-ŠS turned to Stjepan
Radić and his Croatian Peasant Party (HSS), which ultimately led to the
merging of those two parties (1926). After the wounding of Radić (HSS) in
the National Assembly in Belgrade and subsequent death (1928), Anton
Koroπec, president of SPS, became Prime Minister, with consequences that
led to the complete loss of political influence of VPS. After introducing the
January 6th Dictatorship and the prohibition of political party activity, VPS
irrevocably disappeared from the political arena (1929). Penetration
attempts of the SPS in Vojvodina and its cooperation with B-ŠS and later
with VPS were the only episodes in the political life of Croats.
