STVARANJE PRVIH ORGANA NARODNE VLASTI U ZAPADNOJ BOSNI
CREATION OF THE FIRST ORGANS OF THE PEOPLE’ S AUTHORITY IN WESTERN BOSNIA

Summary/Abstract: In this work the author describes the creation of the first organs of the people’s authority in Western Bosnia during the National Libera-- tion War (since February, 1942). The people's authority was born in the hard sociopolitical and economic conditions caused by the German and Italian occupation of our country, in connection with which the quisling »Independent State of Croatia« was established. Bosna and Herzegovina were attached to it. The fratricidal conflicts, caused by the Ustashi massacre, led to the formation of the insurrection fronts in the areas in which the Serb population was in majority. It was there that the first organs of the people’ s authority — the People’s Liberation Committees — were born. The Communist Party of Yugoslavia succeeded in taking the lead of the uprising movement in Western Bosnia from the very start of the struggle- (with the exceptions of some parts of Central Bosna).
