БРИТАНСКА ШТАМПА О КОНКОРДАТСКОЈ КРИЗИ 1937
THE BRITISH PRESS ON THE CONCORD CRISIS

Summary/Abstract: In July and August 1937 a considerable number of articles appeared in the British press dealing with the concord crisis. Despite the number of articles referring to this subject, none of them could be said to have offered a thorough and shrewd insight in the Yugoslav problem. The authors of the articles lent greater attention to the consequences of the crisis than to its causes, the participants in the concord were neither named, much less analyzed giving the impression that the journalists had no knowledge of them. The internal reasons and the requirements of foreign policy that pressed the government to ratify the concord were not considered, nor the indifference demonstrated towards this problem by Macek and the Croatian Peasant Party. Nevertheless, the fact remains that in all of Europe only the British press did not pass silently over this crisis and did not attempt to play down the dissatisfaction and unease of the Orthodox population. All considered, it seems right to say that the British press offered a balanced and correct coverage of those aspects of the concord crisis which they thought warranted interest.
