The future of Slovenes and Slovene territory was one of the matters that was determined almost exactly 100 years ago on the picturesque Corfu island. Just before the summer, members of the Yugoslav Committee, amongst which were also Slovenes, traveled to negotiations with the Serbian Government. Refugee Serbian Government was based in Corfu during the war. The Slovenian part of the Yugoslav Committee delegation was represented by Dr. Bogumil Vošnjak who was also the sole Slovene signatory of the subsequently concluded Declaration. Dr. Niko Zupanič had made contact with the Serbian Government and ensured that Serbians included also Slovenes in their plans, in December 1914 with the Nis Declaration. The members of the Yugoslav Committee were called on to participate in the negotiations by the elder of the Serbian politics Nikola Pašić himself, but summons did not specify the subject of negotiations. However, the relationship between the Yugoslav Committee and the Serbian Government was also undefined, in particular, because the Serbian Government did not regard the Yugoslav Committee as equal. Serbs treated the Slovene nation as even less equal, what had been worsened by the news of just read May Declaration, prior to negotiations. Serbs accused Slovenes of wanting to stay under the Habsburg scepter. The fact that the Yugoslav Committee and Slovenian politics did not cooperate in the home country up until 1918 is not the least insignificant. Also not insignificant is the fact that the members of the Yugoslav Committee were not unified, but they negotiated each for their respective issue. Moreover, disagreements started to show also between the representatives of the Yugoslav Committee. Bogumil Vošnjak as Slovene representative did not have an easy task having to persuade Serbs that Slovenes want to enter into joint country demonstrated by numerous speeches made by Vošnjak at the meetings and in private conversations with regent Aleksander Karađorđević and other important Serbian politicians. The Corfu negotiations which were not precisely defined before their beginning and during their course, lasted more than a month, while the end result was the signature of the Corfu Declaration. However, the Declaration did not have a significant impact as not even Pašić himself perceived it as a legal act, while disagreements between him and the president of the Yugoslav Committee Ante Trumbić even deepened. Due to all conflicts incurred, Trumbić had high hopes for the USA. Slovenian representative Vošnjak was sent there to win the support of Slovene and Croatian emigrants for the Corfu Declaration and for joining of all South Slavs, and he was also tasked to persuade State Department to not remain deaf to the wishes of the Yugoslav Committee.
