The police and the internal administration of The Kingdom of SCS/Yugoslavia (1918-1931)

Abstract

The paper entitled The Police and the Internal Administration of the Kingdom of SCS / Yugoslavia (1918-1931) deals with the organization of public administration and, within it, the first organization of the police in a joint state of the Yugoslav peoples. The union created in 1918 resulted in a state encompassing six different legal areas. The political representatives were not willing to give up the existing administrative apparatus in order to create a unified national government. The police service was organized differently in some provinces until the period of the dictatorship when its unification took place. Regulations on internal administration and police issued from 1929 to 1931 represented a more lasting basis of Yugoslav administrative and police practice.

Rad 'Policija i unutrašnja uprava u Kraljevini SHS/Jugoslaviji (1918-1931)' bavi se organizacijom državne uprave i, u okviru nje, organizacijom policije u prvoj zajedničkoj državi jugoslovenskih naroda. Ujedinjenjem izvršenim 1918. godine u okviru jedne države našlo se šest različitih pravnih područja, čiji politički predstavnici nisu bili spremni na potpuno odricanje od postojećih upravnih aparata radi stvaranja jedinstvene državne uprave. I policijska služba je bila različito organizovana u pojedinim pokrajinama sve do perioda diktature kada je izvršena njena unifikacija. Propisi o unutrašnjoj upravi i policiji doneti od 1929. do 1931. predstavljali su trajniji temelj jugoslovenske upravne i policijske prakse.
