Summary/Abstract: Relation of the Yugoslav government to the occupied territory of the Julian March was based on the attitude that it was disputable area, which should be annexed to Yugoslavia. The Yugoslav government carried on continuity of the Yugoslav Royal Government’s policy. In achieving this goal it used diplomatic, military and economic resources. Through the Yugoslav military administration in the territory of the Julian March, with the practical actions in terrain, the Yugoslav government made efforts to create conditions which would allow annexation of the Julian March to Yugoslavia at the Peace Conference. Such efforts were the most expressed in the part of the Julian March under the rule of the Yugoslav military administration through emphasizing the Yugoslav character of that area and its administrative connection with Yugoslavia. The Yugoslav government carried out significant propaganda and political activities also in the area under the allied military administration. Such activities were the most expressed in the city of Trieste. Obstacles for the operation of the Yugoslav government were different administrative obligations, assumed by signing the Belgrade and Duino agreements. Various difficulties in implementing the assumed obligations were also a good excuse for imposing its own solutions. In anticipation of a favorable decision at the Peace Conference, the Yugoslav government sought to ensure the most favorable diplomatic positions for annexation of the Julian March to the Yugoslav state.
