Abstract
On the basis of archive documents from CK KP BiH fond, available in the Archive of Bosnia and Herzegovina and a document called Book with the list and basic data for all DKR prisoners and IB convicts, available in the Croatian state archives, the author gives an overview of prosecutions of the Cominform supporters in the counties Glamoc, Mrkonjic Grad, Jajce, Drvar, Bosanski Petrovac and Kljuc as well as in the economic and traffic committees (traffic one in Jajce and Banja Luka and economic in Drvar and Elektrobosna and Energija in Jajce. The main part of the paper is the report from the field work of the UDBA employees, which was published in the autumn of 1949 in the area of the above mentioned counties. It can be found in the Archive of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the fund of Central Committee of BiH, in the box 22 under the number 15. Besides that the author used reports of the Regional Committee Banja Luka on the people punished for Cominform. They are also available in the Archive of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Due to the fact that the mentioned documents from the Archive of Bosnia and Herzegovina do not contain further information about destines of the people arrested under the accusation that they were Stalin supporters (Cominform supporters), the author finds the answer for most of them in the above mentioned document from the Croatian state archive in Zagreb. That is in fact a list of convicts on Goli otok.
