in 1929, hoping to bring an end to the ongoing bickering between the serbian and the croatian representatives within the kingdom, king alexander of yugoslavia for the first time since the creation of the state, pulled rank and banned all political parties, and removed the individual nationalities "serb" and "croat" from the bigger picture. he renamed the land "yugoslavia", and abrogated the constitution to establish a royal dictatorship. trumbić was by now in retirement in zagreb. king alexander's division of croatia-slavonia and dalmatia into banovinas countered all previous reforms trumbić had sought. in a september 1932 interview with the manchester guardian trumbić wondered whether croatia should separate from the kingdom of yugoslavia and pursue a union with austria. in november 1932 trumbić edited the "zagreb points", a series of demands put forth by the peasant-democratic coalition to counter serbian hegemony.
