Legal proceedings were prepared against them. This paper shows the role that priests played in the period before the plebiscite, as they were closely involved in events in the two years before the plebiscite and almost unanimously supported the decision that the plebiscite area should become part of the new South Slavic state. This brought them a lot of opposition and even threats from the German-oriented population and state structures. Even the local bishop was not sympathetic to them. Several priests had the opportunity to participate in the international political arena. In addition to official documents, memoirs and parish chronicles from the plebiscite area are of great historical valueSlovenski duhovniki, ki so delovali predvsem v južnem delu škofije Krka/ Celovec, so bili že v času prve svetovne vojne podvrženi različnim oblikam pritiska. Proti njim so bili pripravljeni sodni postopki. Prispevek kaže, kakšno vlogo so duhovniki imeli v času pred plebiscitom, saj so bili v dveh letih tesno vpeti v dogajanje in so domala enoglasno podpirali odločitev, da bi plebiscitarno področje postalo del nove južnoslovanske države. To jim je prineslo veliko nasprotovanje in celo grožnje s strani nemško usmerjenega prebivalstva in državnih struktur. Naklonjen jim ni bil niti krajevni škof. Več duhovnikov je imelo možnost, da so sodelovali v mednarodnem političnem prostoru. Poleg uradnih dokumentov ima veliko zgodovinsko vrednost memoarska literatura in župnijske kronike na plebiscitarnem ozemljuTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaZgodovinsko društvo dr.
