The round table held on Zlatibor aimed to invite scientists from Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina to give a critical review and suggestions on the report of scientists entitled “Independence and the fate of minorities 1991-1992”. This report is part of the international project “Confronting the Yugoslav Controversies: A Scholar’s Initiative”. This large project brought together more than 200 scientists from the region and the world. It deals with historical, political and sociological controversies related to the breakup of Yugoslavia.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the round table, the first published brochure was presented, within which two reports of a group of scientists from the aforementioned project were published. The title of the brochure is “<\/span>War and minorities<\/b><\/span>\u201c. It is composed of two reports “<\/span>War in Croatia, 1991-1995<\/b><\/span> ” and “<\/span> Independence and the Fate of Minorities, 1991-1992<\/b><\/span> “.<\/span> <\/p>\n

On the occasion of the first report, a round table was organized in Zagreb in October 2007<\/a> at the Faculty of Philosophy<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
