Sumario:This paper elaborates the political reorganization of the northern territories of Yugoslavia in the last years of WWI with special regards to the (re)construction of the ethnic structure of Vojvodina. It puts into centre of interest the minority question in the policy of the YCP in the last year of the war with special respect to the Hungarians in the Vojvodina. The (re)construction of the ethnic structure and gaining the political and economic power happened in various ways: by colonization of Vojvodina with Slavic people (mostly Serbs), ethnic cleansing and the total expulsion of the Germans, and partly the Hungarians, and with confiscation their property.  The goal of the Yugoslav Government is quite evident: to turn this ethnically mixed area, which is therefore very uncertain in the terms of state unity, ethnically as homogeneous as possible and to establish the socialist/communist order. The sources of my research beside the literature are the state archives of Serbia and Croatia, the regional Archives of Vojvodina, the published Serbian, Croatian and Yugoslav documentary sourcebooks, newspapers of the period and memoires of the leading politicians and communist functionaries.
