ABSTRACT/RESUME:

Serbian republicans gathered in the Yugoslav Republican Party (established in January of 1920. in Belgrade) were initially confronted with very limited support from the citizens of Serbia and from the Yugoslav monarchy in general. Nevertheless, they did not lose their will for carrying out political activities and they strived toward cooperation with most Yugoslav political groups that were or could have been close to Republican political points of view. Thus, they turned to the Croatian Republican Peasant Party, headed by Stjepan Radić, which showed great strength in the political life of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia after the election for the Constitutional Assembly in 1920. The most intensive period of attempts to reconcile the political stands of the Croatian Republican Peasant Party and the Serbian Republicans was in 1922. It turned out that cooperation was not possible because Stjepan Radić and the Croatian national-republicans had different political goals.
