After the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, the southern part of Baranja became part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. With the creation of the Banovina, Baranja became part of the Danube Banovina with its headquarters in Novi Sad. The ethnic structure of southern Baranja changed considerably after 1918; part of the Hungarians emigrated and moved to Hungary, and due to the deliberate policy of Serbia, it was inhabited by Orthodox, primarily Serbian volunteers, Thessalonians. The once exemplary Beljsko estate lagged behind a bit in the economy because it had no domestic relationship or real management.

According to official statistics, in 1921 there were 49,694 inhabitants in Croatian Baranja, of which were as follows: 16,639 Hungarians (33.55%), 15,955 Germans (32.1%), 9,965 Croats (20%), 6,782 Serbs (13.6%) and 363 others (0.7%). By religion: Catholics make up 35343 (71.2%), Orthodox 13.6%, Moses 0.7% (363). [1]

From these data it is evident that the settlement of Jews in the area of ​​Baranja has stopped, which we can connect with the bad economic situation and better living conditions in the area of ​​larger cities.
