Ekonomsko oživljavanje jugoslovensko-albanskih pograničnih gradova i pitanje dvovlasničkih imanja u međuratnom periodu

This paper explores Yugoslav-Albanian economic relations in the interwar years (1918–1941), utilizing Yugoslav archival sources, relevant literature, and contemporary press reports. Particular emphasis is placed on cross-border trade and the complex issue of dual-ownership properties. The regulation of these matters was intrinsically tied to the signing of the 1926 Yugoslav-Albanian trade agreement and its subsequent ratification in 1929. However, the contract concerning cross-border trade, as part of this agreement, was subject to prolonged negotiations, and it was finally signed in March 1934 and took effect in February 1935. The longstanding efforts to establish cooperation between Yugoslavia and Albania were disrupted by the Italian occupation of Albania in 1939. However, the agreement on border traffic remained in force as "provisional".
