Лука Марић у одбрани ћирилице и Српског културног друштва Просвјета у Хрватској
Luka Marić in Defense of Cyrillic and Serbian Cultural Society Prosvjeta in Croatia

Summary/Abstract: The famous geologist Luka Marić (1899–1979) was a lifelong honorary president of Serbian Cultural Society Prosvjeta in Zagreb. During the strengthening of Croatian nationalism in the early 1970’s the work of this Society was interrupted and all its Cyrillic editions ceased to be published. Since Marić considered that the work of Society and the existence of its Cyrillic editions were of great importance for the Serbian people in Croatia, he made efforts to change this situation. These efforts consisted in meetings and correspondence with leading party officials on the republic and federal level. Although these Marić’s attempts were unsuccessful, they represen t an important testimony of the effort of lifelong honorary president of SCS Prosvjeta to preserve Prosvjeta and Cyrillic in Croatia.
