KONSTITUIRANJE KOMUNISTIČKE VLASTI PREMA OBJAVLJENIM DOKUMENTIMA ZAVNOBiH-a
THE CONSTITUTING OF COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT ACCORDING TO THE PUBLISHED DOCUMENTS OF ZAVNOBiH

Summary/Abstract: Two books of published archival documents, titled ZAVNOBiH – dokumenti are extremely important for the study of the constituting of communist government in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the period from mid-September 1943 to the beginning of May 1945, i.e. in the period of acquiring the character of a certain organization in the political, state, ideological, judicial, economical, educational and other spheres of life. We can safely claim that already by the end of the war the constituting of the communist government was completed in Yugoslavia / Bosnia and Herzegovina regardless of the fact that some pre-war politicians denied its legitimacy. According to that, the issue of legitimacy became a theoretical question for the defeated side and the reality was that already by the spring of 1945 the communists renamed the Third Session of ZAVNOBiH, and the Third Session of AVNOJ into the People’s Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the People’s Assembly of Yugoslavia respectively, with a remark ”until elections”, for which the authorities tried to eliminate opposition and gain the majority of votes via various legal solutions. Even though the passed decisions had a temporary character because of the war circumstances, they represented the basis of the postwar state and political system according to a revolutionary ideological and political programme.
