Summary/Abstract: End of the First World War in 1918 and the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy caused a major change to the region of Southeast Europe and also in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Along with the war operation the unification of South Slav areas and the formation of commen Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes was taking place. In an undemocratic manner and on the basis that were not an expression of free choices of South Slavic peoples on 1 December 1918 was finished the unification and the formation of the new state. The newly formed state, except Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, other nations (Bosniaks, Montenegrins, Macedonians, Albanians and others) nor were they nationally recognized nor equal. The Serbian ruling elite led by the Karadjordjevic dynasty was dominated. National and social disempowered was the most outstanding against Bosnians because they thougth that idea of unification with other South Slavic peoples was not the best solution. Hence many of them did not accept unification with joy, but they were aware that they have no alternative (especially Bosniaks politician). To even have opportunity to participate in creating the fate of the Bosniaks population they were expressing their loyalty to the newly formed state and showing respect to Serbian Karadjordjevic dynasty. They were doing this usually in the community with the Serbian and Croatian representatives but also by themselves.
