Of Cdrniola, extending from the Klag-
enfurt area south almost to Finme,
was Slavonic in its population. 1t
was therefore included in the Jugo-
Slav kingdom along with the other OBJ

southern part Of the old empire: Bos-
MIA, ,Dalmatia, Herzegovina, Croatia
and Slayonia. s

Carniola on the north and containing
the Klagenfurt area, was recognized.

the allies that the question whether
the Teutons or the Slavs pred dominated
in the region should be definitely de-;
