Problem istočnih i zapadnih granica Kraljevine Srba, Hrvata i Slovenaca na Pariškoj mirovnoj konferenciji
The Problem of the Eastern and Western Frontiers of the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes at the Paris Peace Conference

Summary/Abstract: The Prime Minister of the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. Nikola Pašić, was not a member of the Kingdom’s delegation at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, which made the work of the delegation quite difficult. The main contentious issue among its members concerned the principle on which Yugoslavia's territorial claims should be based. The Serbian members and the Army representatives advocated the strategic principle, while the Croats (Trumbić) defended the ethnic principle. The conflict could not be resolved on the spot, which blocked the work of the delegation and frustrated its efforts in trying to get the most favourable frontiers for the new state.
