Croatian issue and the idea of united Yugoslavian people

Abstract

Magazine 'Vidici' (Belgrade, June 1938-July 1940) was unofficial organ of Yugoslavian culture club which struggled for unity of Serbians, Croatians and Slovenians under collective Yugoslavian culture. Magazine, as did the club, brought together intellectuals who had Yugoslavian determination, no matter their nationality, and among them were some of the most prominent people of those times: Jovan Erdeljanovic, Milan Budimir, Vasilj Popovic Vladimir Corovic, Viktor Novak, Petar Skok, Niko Bartulovic and others. They considered meeting points and controversial questions of Serbs and Croatians, following, on one side, attempts to resolve dissidences between those two nations, and on the other side, extreme tendencies which questioned the results of the effort to release tension which threatened being of Yugoslavia. They've punctuated the idea of united Yugoslavian people due to historical progress of Serbs and Croatians and due to complexity of international circumstances which requested centralization of all inner forces for protection of outside dangers.
