Sažetak
The author analyses Croatian-Slavonian affiliation as a form of public law affiliation to Croatia and Slavonia in the period from the Croatian-Hungarian Settlement of 1868 to the collapse of the Monarchy in 1918. The main hypothesis is that, in the said period, the individuals’ public law status in Croatia and Slavonia was defined not only by the Hungarian-Croatian citizenship but also by the Croatian-Slavonian affiliation. In the first part of the paper, the bases of Croatian-Slavonian affiliation before the Croatian-Hungarian Settlement
of 1868 are analysed. It is concluded that the Croatian-Slavonian affiliation was visible in the regulations and practices of the feudal period, during the Revolution of 1848, and during the period of provisional constitutionality. Second part of the paper contains an analysis of the Croatian-Hungarian Settlement as a basic legal act. It is concluded that the Settlement did not regulate the issue of individuals’ public law affiliation in a clear and unambiguous manner. The author then analyses the Croatian-Slavonian affiliation at the practical level and concludes that due to non-existence of a law on the Croatian-Slavonian affiliation, municipal affiliation was used as the basic manner of defining Croatian-Slavonian affiliation during the Settlement period. Consequently, foreigners obtained that affiliation simultaneously with obtaining their municipal affiliation. The final part of the paper outlines the rights of individuals of Croatian-Slavonian affiliation. By detailed analysis of electoral laws, the author has shown that Croatian-Slavonian affiliation used to be the basic requirement for obtaining active and passive electoral rights. Furthermore, it was an important prerequisite for accessing the autonomous system of social rights, which was in the making at the time.
