Summary: This paper presents an analysis of activities of the major shareholding banks in Serbia up until the World War II, including their professional and personal connectedness with the official authorities. In this section, we focus on the circumstances in Serbia and the operations of Export Bank a.d. in the aftermath of the World War I and following the establishment of the Kingdom of SCS/Yugoslavia. Special attention is devoted to the Serbian entrepreneurs and politicians engaged in the bank’s operations, who did their best to utilize all advantages offered by the new, enlarged state to promote foreign trade of Serbia, with a highlight of the key reasons that complicated and hindered such promotion.
