History and content

The first issue of Jugoslavija was published in Fall 1949.[3] The founding editor of the illustrated magazine was Oto Bihalji-Merin.[1][3] He was a Serbian writer, art historian and curator.[4] The magazine was published biannually in Serbo-Croatian, English and German.[3][5] Later French and Russian languages were added to the magazine volumes.[5] The goal of the magazine was to present sociopolitical situation, national treasures and touristic places of Yugoslavia to the Western countries.[3] It also contained articles reflecting Balkan culture.[6] Some of the volumes were dedicated to single republics within Yugoslavia, including Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia and Slovenia.[4] These republics had either small population or were located at the far end of the country or had multicultural structure.[4] However, the magazine never featured Croatia or Serbia of which population was dominant in the federation.[4]

Oto Bihalji-Merin edited the magazine until 1959 when it ceased publication.[5][7]
