Abstract
The paper aims to provide insight into application of peace treaties that the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes reached with Austria and Hungary after the First World War. The author specifically analyses the regulations about citizenship status. In the research, the author used relevant literature, regulations and important archival sources, namely fund of Provincial Government of Croatia-Slavonia, fund of great prefect of Zagreb region and Collection of personal files of Banovina of Croatia, with some important files relevant for application of peace treaties. In the paper, the author analyzes some specific aspects of application of peace treaties, especially importance of ethnic criteria in procedures. In addition, the author points out that in some options based on nationality, authorities of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes recognized as citizens persons who were not originally Croats, Serbs or Slovenes but who gained such characteristic through process of acculturation while Jews could face significant problems in acquisition of citizenship.
