1. Up to 19119, control of the entire mining indust_y was centralized in the
Federal Ministry of Mines in Belgrade. This sy:ytteem had, however, proved
too cumbersome, and since 1 January 1950, the R,=!publics of Serbia, Croatia,
Slovenia and Hercegovina were granted their own Ministries of Coal Mines.
At the same time, the various General Directorates of the Federal Ministry
were given a greater degree of autonomy.
