Summary/Abstract: The article gives an abundant and so far mainly unpublished documentation about political aspects of the agrarian reform in Bosnia and Herzegovina after the unification in 1918. An attempt has been done to give full explanation of the attitude and the actions of the political parties towards the agrarian reform. After a short review of the agrarien problem in Bosnia and Herzegovina up to the creation of the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, the author gives a survey of the agrarian movement of Bosnia and Herzegovina immediately after 1918, followed by the passing of »the Preliminary decisions for the preparation of the agrarian reform«. A survey on so-called bey-estate problem has also been presented. It is said that the agrarian problem in Bosnia and Herzegovina dominated in social-economic, confessional-national and political relations for a whole century. It intermingled with religious and national problems, because the majority of Moslem people were feudals while the majority of Serbs were serfs. This factor, beside the others, was the reason why the agrarian movement in Bosnia and Herzegovina did not represent a classunion and unification of serfs and poor peasantry without regard to their national or religious orientation.
