Summary/Abstract: The article, based on the archival sources and contemporary press presents the roots of political split within the Yugoslav Moslem Organization (YMO) that started immediatly after the parilamentary elections in May 1935 and after Mehmed Spaho, the head of the YMO, joined the government of Milan Stojadinović and included YMO into the newly founded ruling Yugoslav Radical Community. The split developed around the communal affairs in the town of Sarajevo and the question of the Islamic Religious Community and these two issues had a long reaching effect that resulted in the wider political split among Moslems after Spaho died in 1939. After his death the split led to a definite division into two factions which had mutually opposed views concerning the key political and national issues.
