- Administrative/biographical history:
- After the collapse of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the territory of the state was occupied by foreign powers in April 1941. In Bačka, the Hungarian occupying force took power and introduced a military administration, which lasted until 15 August. On August 16 the Hungarian Parliament adopted a law by whereby the southern territories were reunited with the Hungarian crown and other parts of Hungary. Accordingly, the Hungarian laws extended to the annexed territories. The civil administration (administrative system, self-governing bodies and financing of officials) was established in line with the Government Order No.5440/ME of 22 July 1941. That Order temporarily defined the municipalities and cancelled the provisions 148-162 of article XXII from 1886, and the provisions regulating the names of municipalities and places. The District Office of Novi Sad ceased to exist with the liberation of Novi Sad in October 1944.
