The Serbian Cultural Club is an organization founded in mid-January 1937. The Club pretended to be an non-party entity with the idea of cultural renaissance and broader national homogenization of the Serbian nation in The Kingdom of Yugoslavia, as an answer to the tendency for the political division of the country according to the national basis which was realized by the Cvetkovic-Macek Agreement from August 26, 1939. On the basis of that Agreement, formation of the Banat of Croatia started the division of the territories and federalization of the country along the ethnic principle. Since the borders between the constitutional nations of Yugoslavia were not clear in the territory and the theoretical pretensions were very conflicting. The Serbian Cultural Club tried to answer the challenge of the newly created situation. Its activity was specially visible in Vojvodina, having in mind the structure of the population, and there was also a numerous, nationally still not completely determined group of the Bunjevci and Sokci population. In an attempt to define their attitude to Vojvodina, intellectuals from The Serbian Cultural Club discussed all 'burning' issues related to the structure of the population, too. This paper would deal with his interesting and controversial topic. .
