May 15, 2017EventsBy Милан Гвоздовић

To mark the anniversary of the Victory Day over Fascism, the Faculty of Philosophy in Kosovska Mitrovica presented the thematic collection of papers Kosovo and Metohija During World War II – Seven Decades Later.

The collection was presented by prof. dr Vladan Virijević from the Faculty of Philosophy in Kosovska Mitrovica, dr Božica Slavković, as well as dr Nenad Antonijević from the Museum of Genocide Victims in Belgrade, along with Mr Dušan Kozarev, Deputy Director at the Office for Kosovo and Metohija of the Government of the Republic of Serbia.

Thematic collection of international importance Kosovo and Metohija During World War II – Seven Decades Later emerged as the realization of an idea in a time when there is a growing attempt to relativise the base of the anti-fascist struggle by various unscientific, mostly daily-political reasons in former Yugoslavia, and to point out the characteristics of the Second World War in Kosovo and Metohija by objective and critical observations of some historical events and processes.

There are 16 articles in this collection, whose authors come from Serbia, Russia, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Montenegro and the Serbian Republic, i.e. Bosnia and Herzegovina, of which there are15 historians and one author with PhD in literature.
