Summary/Abstract: The author gives a short survey of the process' of the unification of the South Slav peoples and the inner administration of the common state. It has been stated that from the time of the birth of the idea of unification to its realization there were various view points on both the individuality of peoples who were to enter this state community and their position in the common state. The solution of this question in the pre-war Yugoslavia has been touched upon paying special attention to the position of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the programmes of those political forces which clashed on the question of the inner organization of the common state. It is striking that in the pre-war times none of the more important bourgeois political parties recognized individuality of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Indeed, it was this question on which they bitterly clashed; even the Communist party of Yugoslavia up to the eve of the Second World War had not a clearly defined view. Tire question of the position of Bosnia and Herzegovina was dealt with more seriosiy since the time of the Cvetković-Maček Treaty, but that process was stopped by the war.
