Abstract
Autor je izložio bitne pravno-političke aspekte postanka i organizacije Države SHS nastale u jesen 1918. na području Južnih Slavena koji su se pri kraju prvoga svjetskog rata otcijepili od Austro-Ugarske Monarhije. Posebno mjesto dano je analizi političkih pitanja u Narodnom vijeću Države SHS vezanih uz modalitete ujedinjenja Države SHS s Kraljevinom Srbijom, Prvoprosinačkom aktu o ujedinjenju te pitanjima utvrđivanja granica i sukcesije država nasljednica Austro-Ugarske Monarhije.The author analyses the constitution and organization of the State of Slovenes, Croats, and Serbs (SHS) in the Fall of 1918 on the territory of Southern Slavs who broke off from Austro-Hungarian Monarchy at the end of the World War I. He concentrates on the political questions placed before the Nacional Council of Slovenes, Croats, and Serbs (NV) regarding the modalities of unification with the Kingdom of Serbia. He also discusses the legal nature of the act of December 1, 1918, when the unification of the SHS and the Kingdom of Serbia and the creation of the new state of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes was proclaimed. The author also discusses the establishment of borders between the new state and Italy, Austria, and Hungary as well as legal controversies ensued from the question of succession from the Austria-Hungary. The author concludes that the short duration of the new state has risen many legal problems and controversies, which should encourage new research in this matter
