Starting positions seizure: Economic relations between republics in Yugoslavia after the II world war

Abstract

The article deals with the events in field of economy taking place between the republics immediately after the liberation of Yugoslavia, that is, until the end of the first five-year plan. Economic relations were entirely subjected to politics. The income overflow took place through the mechanisms of economic policy, mainly through federal budget, requisition and compulsive pay-off that hit Serbia the most. Other means included moving away industrial facilities, depressing the prices of agricultural goods, strategic products, energy, raw materials and many other mechanisms. This all took place because of, as it was publicly announced in the National Assembly when the first five-year plan was adopted, pre war "policy of national oppression" and "hegemony", that "great-Serbian bourgeoisie" and "hegemonistic" Belgrade exercised between the wars.
