We are pleased to publish rational contributions to the continuing dialogue about the problems still existing in the countries and regions of the former Yugoslavia. You may have some personal experiences to share. All we ask – as the journal endeavours to be factual and objective in its contents – is that you adhere to the same principles.
Editorial note: The South Slav Journal welcomes contributions covering differing historical perspectives, political persuasions and religious faiths. However, and in view of prevailing circumstances, such subjects can arouse strong emotions and the Editor appeals to all contributors to bear this in mind. The Editor also reserves the right to remove or amend offending passages or words should such appear in the text. At the same time the Editor wishes to emphasize that all signed texts reflect the views of the author and not necessarily those of the Editorial Board of The South Slav Journal.
