Sažetak
The author indicates the main characteristics of the emigration policy and service in Yugoslavia between the two wars. It is stated in the introduction that emigration from Yugoslavia after the First World War had two main characteristics. First, by means of restrictive measures pertaining to immigration in the U. S. immigrant quotas from individual countries were determined. The quota for Yugoslavia amounted to 671 persons per annum. Secondly, due to such a restriction and the unattractiveness of the countries of South America and Canada, the number of emigrants from Yugoslavia between the two wars did not exceed 20,000 persons per annum.
Further in the text it is stated that former Yugoslavia's Emigration and Immigration Act did not serve as a basis for creating an emigration policy, because a lot of questions contained in it remained understated. Yugoslavia's emigration policy between the two wars consisted of a search for ways and methods for approaching the problem of emigration and immigration, leading the author to conclude that the emigrant question was but a peripheral matter as far as the state administration and its global politics were concerned.
Another statement of the author is that there was no continuity in former Yugoslavia's emigration service, while its main tasks pertaining to practical policies were reduced to an administrative and police control of emigration and immigration.
