Sažetak
In this paper I will address the issue of nationalization of people offically categorized as the ''Orthodox'' population of ''Croato-Serbian'' language in the Kingdom of Croatia and Slavonia in the period between 1908 and 1914. The comprehension of this issue in historiographical accounts is still today primarly conceptualised in terms of ''ethnicists'' assumptions and in that regard it follows claims of the majority of Serbian national activists from the second half of the nineteenth century, who emphasized ethnic distinctivness of ''Serbian people'' in the Kingdom of Hungary and in Croatia and Slavonia as its integral part. They increasingly had used the legitimization of religious and educational autonomy of the Serbian Orthodox Church in the Kingdom of Hungary for the development of various ethnic cultural, political and economic organisations, identifying them with outlandish ''national homeland'' of the Kingdom of Serbia. This last element proved to be very significant with the transformation of international political relations at the beginning of the twentieth century, when Austro – Hungarian Monarchy and The Kingdom of Serbia became rivals with opposing interests on the Balkan peninsula. In the complex interplay of political interests central authorities in Vienna, Hungarin authorities as well as segments of Croatian political scene tried to control or even prevent ''Orthodox'' population of becoming a ''Serbian'' one, claiming latter form of identification of being imported from and propagated by Serbian state and her agents in Croatia and Slavonia. Yet, in turning, this type of discourse and action only further emphisized the language of ethnicism as essential and natural form of selfconciousness and helped to reificate ethnic groups as pivotal societal forms. In this respect I would like to examine, by relying at a more recent literature and at historical sources, to what extent, in the period from the Annexation crisis to the beginning of the First World War, the nationalization of ''Orthodox'' people took its way, or to better put it, can we at all, without applying very nuannced and situationally aware language, speak of categories like ''Orthodox'' or ''Serbian'' to be the shared and prime identification markers for the population of over half a million people. So, the main tasks of this paper will be to analyze the construction of ethnic categories, the conditions for their deployment, who were their most significant proponents and what was their reception in the wider circles of society.
