In addition to interpreting stipulations on archives from the Treaties of St Germain and Trianon, "The convention among Austria, Czechoslovakia, Italy, Poland, the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and the Slovenes, Rumania, and Hungary on the questions concerning the archives", signed in Rome, on April 4th 1922, also sel certain general archival principles on their implementation (i.e. how to treat archives, which concern several countries, their accessibility, when and how the countries successors are to ensure "joint access" to the documents, the responsibilities of the holders of the records and so forth). The convention was not only binding for Austria and Hungary, but also stipulated certain obligations of the successor countries towards each other. After World War I, Yugoslavia and Italy settled all issues concerning their joint archives on the basis of this convention. At the meeting of the mixed committee in Trieste in summer 1922, both countries agreed to restore the archives taken away during the war, and to distribute administrative archives reciprocally, in keeping with the new border. The archives were transferred in 1926, 1929, 1941 and 1942. Some additional information on this subject will be available once the archives of the Foreign Ministry in Belgrade are accessible again.
