OCCURENCE, DEVELOPMENT AND THE ACTIVITY OF GOVERNMENT BODIES IN EAST BOSNIA IN 1941.

Summary/Abstract: Owing to the. activity of the Communist Party organizations and the one of the military staffs’ in 1941, a favourable situation for the mass people's uprising in Eastern Bosnia was created. A great number of syphatizers. citizens and young people, all of them inclined to the struggle against the invaders and the domestic traitors, gathered around the Party organization. Very soon there was a steady increase in the extent of the uprising, and in s short time a rather large liberated territory was created. Many municipal and district towns in Eastern Bosnia were set free. In the liberated villages and towns the invader's authority was immediately abolished, and so was the NDH administration (NDH — the Independent State of Croatia). At first, the authority in the liberated areas was in partisan detachment staffs’ hands. But, very soon, they attracted a considerable number of people, inclined to NOB (the National Liberation Struggle), round themselves, and transferred some of the authority functions on them. In this action and in the people’s activity one can see the first sprouts of the new people’s authority, later created in the liberated territories.
