Sažetak
The paper deals with initial definition of citizenry on Croatian-Slavonian area in the First Yugoslavia. The research relies in great measure on archival research available in the Croatian National Archive. In the paper, the author elaborates few theses. The first one is about local citizenship as fundamental criteria for determination of citizenship in the first years of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. Further, the author elaborates thesis about peace treaties as a crucial moment that negated relevance of local citizenship for determination of national citizenship if acquired after January 1 of 1910. The author argues that this rule as well as initially restrictive rules about local citizenship enabled administrative authorities of the First Yugoslavia to question
national citizenship of many persons, especially ones who moved in Croatia-Slavonia from Hungary. According to the author, the authorities significantly widened citizen’s body in 1928 when the law about citizenship of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes entered into force. This inclusion however in great measure favored ethnic Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.
