Rijeka Drava kao administrativna i politička granica
River Drave: as Administrative and Political Border

Summary/Abstract: The Hungarian-Croation connections can be seen from a very complex historical aspects. The constitutional connections had changed many times, and because of these changes the role of River Drave also had been very different functions. In my paper I can analyse the the role of River Drave as a border, or border problem in the 19th and 20th centuries. After the Austro-Hungarian Compromise (1867) and after the Croatian-Hungarian Compromise (1868) the River Drave turned to be an administrative and political border. In some parts of the border was discussed between the two parts of the Hungarian Kingdom, and especially Somogy county was interested in the corrections of the border. For the economy it was an open border, but in many respects it was a real mental border between Hungarians and Croatians.
