Petar Živković’s government in 1929. He tried to resolve the crisis in the country by democratic means, but the government fell in 1930 under pressure from Slovenia. In opposition, Korošec drew up the Slovenian Declaration (Slovenska deklaracija) which called for a new multinational union of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs. This proposal also seemed attractive to Slovenians living in the Slovenian Littoral and Carinthia, which bordered on the existing state. Korošec was exiled to the island of Hvar in 1933. The Slovenian People's Party subsequently boycotted the 1935 parliamentary elections. Korošec nonetheless was named minister for the interior in Milan Stojadinović's government in the same year. He helped to facilitate an agreement between Dragiša Cvetković and Vladko Maček and was minister for education in their government. While in Stojadinović's Government, Korošec advocated a policy of close relationships with Nazi Germany. As education Minister in the Yugoslav government of Macek-Cvetkovic, in October 1940 Korošec introduced two antisemitic laws. One limited the participation of Jews in the wholesale food industry, while the other put a limit on the number of Jewish students in secondary schools and universities. When other ministers objected to the laws, Korošec insisted that failure to introduce them would endanger relationships with Germany, and the laws were indeed accepted. Towards the end of his life, he openly spoke out against Freemasonry, Communism as well as Judaism. While serving Interior Minister in the Yugoslav government, Korošec, declared "all Jews, Communists, and Freemasons as traitors, conspirators, and enemies of the State". He also organised the anti-Communist organisation the Sentinel in the Tempest (Straža v viharju). Death Korošec died aged 68 in Belgrade (then Kingdom of Yugoslavia, now Republic of Serbia).
