Pre-1914 Administrative Boundaries and the Birth of Yugoslavia
Pre-1914 Administrative Boundaries and the Birth of Yugoslavia
The legal aspects of the Yugoslav wars center around one key question: Can internal administrative boundaries serve as a legal basis for secession? This chapter analyzes the territorial division of Yugoslavia since its creation in 1918 in order to define the notion of administrative boundaries. The relevant pre-1918 historical context relating to administrative division will also be provided to shed further light on the legal and political consequences of this division.
