  Yugoslavia and the World Wars
A new government was appointed under the leadership of Serb Milan Stojadinovic and while the reduced the level of political oppression he failed to liberalize the government and did not pacify Croatian political groups.
With many fearing that Stojadonovic had fascist intentions (his followers adopted the fascist salute and wore green shirts), Prince Pavle, who was part of the regency, forced Stojadinovic's resignation in 1939 and replaced him with Dragisa Cvetkovic.
Cvetkovic and Croat leader Vlatko Macek agreed to the Sporazum which allowed for Croatian autonomy with its own assembly while Belgrade would continue to control defense, internal security, foreign policy, trade, and transport.

It was perhaps taking the title Vodja (Fuhrer) that finally sent Prince Paul into action, replacing Stojadinovic with Dragisa Cvetkovic who maintained the same pro-Axis foreign policy but with fewer Fascist trappings.
The only member of the government who refused to sign the "Pact of Steel" joining the Axis was the Croatian minister, Vladko Macek of the Croatian Peasant Party.
After the signing Cvetkovic assured Hitler that Yugoslavia "...would be ready to cooperate with Germany in every way." In fact, Paul had been cooperating since 1939 with mass arrests of Jews, strict racial laws, and the prohibition of trade unions.

Though the racketeers Alexander favoured had been supplanted by an assortment of strange governing coalitions (one contained parties representing Serbian military veterans, Bosnian Muslim merchants and Slovene farmers), the Croats could no longer be cut out of the deal.
With Paul's prompting, a new government, headed by Dragisa Cvetkovic, came to a historic agreement with Vladko Macek, the Sporazum (Understanding) of 1939.
Alexander's electoral system, which had split traditional ethnic groups between districts and abolished any party which did not have nationwide support (the kiss of death not just for Croats but Albanians, Slovenes, and Bosnjaks as well), was scrapped.

Moreover, the regime of Prince Paul and Premier Dragisa Cvetkovic already negotiated the accession of Yugoslavia to the so-called Tripartite Pact of the Axis and its associates: as a quid pro quo, Belgrade sought part of Greek Macedonia including Thessaloniki.
