„Srpski književni glasnik“ o jugoslovensko-bugarskim odnosima 1920-1930
The Yugoslav-Bulgarian Relations According To The „srpski Književni Glasnik“ Magazine 1920-1930

Summary/Abstract: Thanks to an elite team of associates, consisting of the most famous names in Yugoslav science and culture of that time,Srpski književni glasnik(Serbian Literary Gazette) was one of the few journals whose impact surpassed the average public expectations, usually accustomed to sensationalist contents. This magazine analytically approached all cemented stereotypes about Bulgarian people and politics. In moments of strained bilateral relations, SKG was trying to trace the causes of conflict and highlight the possible solution as well. Such an ambitious undertaking was more promising, as the authors began to participate in the Yugoslav politics, indirectly influencing the conscience of the executive power. However, the effects of such a “mission” were not proportionate to an enthusiasm expressed by the journal editorial board. Strong international arbitration, unpredictable flows of the Bulgarian interior scene and a conviction of the Yugoslav authorities that the Macedonian question was definitely resolved, did not allow progress in bilateral relations. After the capitulation of France in 1940 turned the Bulgarian government to Germany, in Sobranie flared debate on the historical rights of the Bulgarians in Macedonia, by which some processes, even in lexical terms, began to be repeated. Despite all the shortcomings caused by the relations between Yugoslavia and Bulgaria, the perception of “Bulgarian political morality”, elaborated in foreign policy column in SKG, proved to be largely based and politically farsighted.
