Summary/Abstract: From the papers of the Croatian priest, professor of theology and politician Dr. Fran Barac (1872-1940), which are held at the Archive of the Archdiocese of Đakovo, this author prepares a short commentary and transcript of the document Foundations of the Yugoslavian state. In this document, which was written by an unknown author who had to have been rather close the Croatian bourgeois elite during the interwar period, quite harsh evaluations of the social and political situation in Monarchist Yugoslavia are presented from the Croatian point of view. Consequently, this previously unknown and unpublished document makes an interesting contribution to a better understanding of the political developments on the Croatian and wider Yugoslavian stage from the beginning of the First World War until the mid 1930s.
