Summary/Abstract: The transfer of power in Sarajevo from the last Austro-Hungarian governor, general Potjorek, to the deputy of the main committee of the national council on the 1st of November 1918 was followed by the transfers of the local authorities. The transfer from the “outgoing” to the “coming” administration, which was represented by the national government in Sarajevo, even though it was strictly organized by the instruction of said government, could not have been implemented without problems and political complications on the ground, especially when it comes to district administrations and centers of the district branches in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The transfer of power was officially confirmed by the signature of the transfer protocol, which was then sent to Sarajevo. This article brings the example of such a protocol which was signed in the district offices of Gračanica on the 25th of November 1918.
