Abstract
On the eve of the First World War Split was the stage of
numerous events among the youth. Those events were stormy and
dynamic, and also intensified by the collapse of Monarchy and the
issues relating to the future union of the (South) Slav peoples. This
was the subject of two youth-meetings in Split, in 1911 and 1912.
Besides the intercession for the “unity of Croats and Serbs”, the
main topic at the meetings was the struggle against clericalism, in
which Matej Košćina was especially prominent. The work consists
of two parts: in the first part historical and social atmosphere of
the events among the young people in Split and relation towards
the Church and the clergy is displayed, and in the second part the
role of Matej Košćina in those events and his literature, essentially
dependent on passing the ideological and anticlerical messages.
