Yugoslavian Reality Reflected in a Parliament Speech of Nikola Pašic (Case Study)

Summary/Abstract: The study is an analysis of the parliamentary speech held on the 7 of June 1923 by Nikola Paši􀃼, the most important politician in the first years of Yugoslavia. A characterisation of the political life is made and the main issues that created tensions between Yugoslavian nations from the beginning and questioned the viability of the new state are emphasised. On one hand, the analysis attests the artistry, in this case the rhetorical artistry, through which the Serbian Prime Minister managed to impose his will and avoid violence. But, most of all, it reflects the fundamental contradictions which, in time, led to the disintegration of Yugoslavia.
