After the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1918, they were created at the same time the new nation-states including the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. On the basis of the peace agreement signed in Saint Germain, the all crown good of former Austro-Hungarian Empire belong to the heirs in which they find themselves after demarcation. Thus, the estate of Friedrich Habsburg went to Kingdom of SHS, and later to Yugoslavia. The provisions of the Trianon Agreement, signed between Hungary and the Triple Entente, stoped the Serbian occupation of Baranja (until Pecs) and Baranja is divided into two parts, northern, which remains part of Hungary and south, assigned to Kingdom of SHS. Consequently, comes to casualties of estates that are lying on the boundary line established by paragraph 27 of the Trianon contract. With this act the most affected was "Belje", as the greatest good of Baranja. In this paper, authors are dealing with Trianon Treaty which edited the border dispute between the Kingdom of SCS and Hungary and are trying to explain the impact of demarcation on the legal and economic situation of the former estates, now goods or economic enterprises "Darda" and "Belje". Thereby, the authors are considering the cases of goods "Darda" and "Belje" from their occurrence, their position during the Austro-Hungarian Empire, through large-scale changes after the collapse of the Monarchy and the establishment of the State of SHS and the period from 1918 to 1945. Furthermore, by signing of the Trianon peace treaty, Baranja, by then a single entity, was divided into two parts, so the authors are explaining the legal status of Baranja, originally designated by administrative organization in 1922, then the division of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in, banovine" 1929 and finally incorporation of the territory of Baranja in the composition of the Republic of Croatia after 1991.
