Neka istraživačka iskustva u radu na monografiji „Gračanica i okolina u NOB-u i revoluciji“
Some research experiences in the work on the monograph "Gračanica and the surrounding areas in the NOB and revolution"

Summary/Abstract: This article deals with the experiences and memories of one of the authors of the book “Gračanica and the surrounding areas in the NOB and revolution”; with his experiences during the research that was undertaken for this book as well as the historical ambient that was prevalent during his work. As such the author brings interesting experiences of his work with statements and so called “oral history” that can be used as historical sources in the right framework. The author is arguing for a great deal of reservation and caution while using such sources. This approach is being illustrated by the research on the so called revolutionary movement in Gračanica during the Second Word War. The thing that is apparent during such investigations is that the comparative method has to be used to prove all oral statements, but also that there is the possibility of certain insights that can be bring a totally new light on the topic that is being investigated. In this case it was proven that the cooperation of the Chetniks and Partisans during the attack on Gračanica denied any possibility of sympathizers and communists joining the ranks of the communist uprising.
