Jugoslavija was a Yugoslav multilingual illustrated arts magazine published between 1949 and 1959. [1] Its full title in English was Yugoslavia: An Illustrated Magazine. The magazine was based in Belgrade. [2] The magazine was a propaganda publication which included articles on arts and advertising illustrations.
The first issue of Jugoslavija was published in Fall 1949. [3] The founding editor of the illustrated magazine was Oto Bihalji-Merin. [1] [3] He was a Serbian writer, art historian and curator. [4] The magazine was published biannually in Serbo-Croatian, English and German. [3] [5] Later French and Russian language editions were added.
