Sažetak
The purpose of this article is to explore the development of political views of a renowned Croatian politician Ante Trumbić after his return to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (SCS) at the end of 1920 until the end of 1921, mostly on the basis of seldom used or completely unknown archival sources, newspapers of the time, and secondary literature. The first part of the article describes Trumbić’s return to Split, central parts are focused on his political activity in the Constituent Assembly of the Kingdom of SCS and the reasons for his opposition to the Vidovdan (St. Vitus Day) Constitution, while the last parts of the article are exploring Trumbić’s cooperation with Stojan Protić and his political actions in the direction of revising the Constitution in the second half of 1921. It is concluded that Trumbić’s views at this time progressed from optimism in the possibility of harmonious solution of the Croat question in Yugoslavia between major politicians like Nikola Pašić and Stjepan Radić, towards realpolitik tactics of necessary cooperation of Croatian opposition with the major Serbian opponents of Svetozar Pribićević like Jovan Jovanović Pižon and Ljubomir Davidović.
