## History

[edit]

A 22 December 1939 decision as part of agrarian reforms by Ban Šubašić to confiscate the forest property in Dražice and surroundings of the Thurn and Taxis family, Kálmán Ghyczy and Nikola Petrović resulted in a legal dispute known as the Thurn and Taxis Affair, in part because of the relative status of the family and in part because of the proximity to the Italian border.[3][4]
