The Confiscation of the Landholdings of the Visoki Dečani Monastery in the Process of Agrarian Reform and Colonization, 1945–1946

Summary/Abstract: This paper examines the relationship between the Yugoslav state and the Serbian Orthodox Church during the first years following the Second World War, as observed through the process of resolving issues related to the property of the Visoki Dečani Monastery. The objectives of the agrarian reform and the main trends in the activities of the Yugoslav agrarian authorities in the confiscation of the monastery’s landholdings are highlighted, covering the period from the spring of 1945 until the summer of 1946, when this process was largely completed. The paper is based on an analysis of unpublished archival sources preserved in the Archive of the Visoki Dečani Monastery, the State Archives of Serbia, and the Archives of Yugoslavia, as well as on relevant literature and newspapers.
