Translation of "vlasti" into English

I u Petrovo su vrijeme neki kraljevi imali apsolutnu moć i vlast.

And in Peter’s day some kings had absolute power and authority.

Eto kamo vodi vršenje vlasti bez poštivanja života, bez pravde, bez milosrđa.

That is where the exercise of authority without respect for life, without justice, without mercy leads.

Ali vlasti traže da on ne napusti okrug.

But the government asks that he not leave his state.
