Abstract: The article provides an overview of the internal administrative-territorial structure of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes based on the concept of 33 counties, by putting into correlation of this concept with the intention of territorialisation of the identity of “threetribal people” deprived of ethnic and historical principles. Specifically, the article analyses the correlation between historical provinces and political entities on one side and the administrative-territorial solution of the 33 counties on the other side, as well as the correlation between ethnic principle and this concept. Thereby, the area of Bosnia and Herzegovina stands out as an area with the highest level of territorial commonality in relation to the current state borders, but also with complete and obvious deviations from the current internal administrative-territorial structure of this country.
Key words: the Kingdom of SCS, 33 counties, territorialisation, identity, Bosnia and Herzegovina
