Summary/Abstract: Although the labour movement has been a widely researched field in the Yugoslav historiography, during the second half of the 20th century some of its aspects, such as ideological conditions, were not sufficiently analysed. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to portray the development of the centralist / social democratic wing of the labour movement in Bosnia and Herzegovina, based on the available archive materials and newspaper sources, and its relations with the Croatian social democrats. It aims to analyse the work of Jovo Jakšić, who was the editor of the newspapers of the Osijek branch of the Socialist Union of Yugoslavia (later the Socialist Party of Yugoslavia), “Radnički List” (the Workers’ Newspaper). In order to set the stated topic into a broader context, the paper also presents a brief overview of the development of the labour movement in Bosnia and Herzegovina until 1914, as well as ideological aspirations within the international labour movement at that time.
