Abstract
In this article the author shows the genesis of the National Council of Slovenes, Croats, and Serbs, its internal organization, the role in the establishment of the State of the Slovenes, Croats, and Serbs (SHS), and its place in the creation of the Yugoslav state in 1918, The author scrutinizes hitherto prevailing position that the SHS was constituted on October 29, 1918, and argues that there was no formal act of constitution on that date. He believes that the basis for the constitution of the SHS state consist of the totality of legal and other acts of that state in the process of its constitution; in other words, that it is impossible to insist on a juridical perfection. If one insists on this state's constitution date, the author agrees that h should be October 19/29, 1918.
