Abstract

[At the time of the First World War Armistice in November 1918, Yugoslavia did not exist as a country, as Misha Glenny has remarked.1 A sovereign state was quickly agglomerated out of the rubble of the fallen empires at the Paris Peace Conference. Glenny describes its inception: It was constituted as the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes a few days later on 1 December. But it was established without clear borders and with no clear constitutional order. Had the kingdom of Serbia merely absorbed the south Slav regions of the Habsburg Empire and the Kingdom of Montenegro? Or was the country a novel entity in which Croatia, Slovenia, Dalmatia, Bosnia-Hercegovina and Montenegro would assume equal constitutional weight with Serbia?2]
