Abstract
The functions of heads of departments in the Provincial Government for Croatia-Slavonia in
the period from formation of the Government in 1869 until dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian
Monarhcy in 1918 are dealt with in this paper. The author has analyzed relevant legal regulations
and personal changes in the positions of heads of departments. The author has pointed out that the
functions of heads of departments were marked by the interweaving of administrative and political
elements so the functions can not be defined purely as only administrative. Moreover, the author has
specifically emphasized that the political element was mostly evident in relation to the function of
head of department of internal affairs who parallelly in specific cases acted as deputy of the Croatian
Ban.
