Serbian National Council publishes book on 100 notable Serbs in Croatia

The Serbian National Council (SNV) has released a new book titled ‘100 Notable Serbs in Croatia’, edited by historian Ivo Goldstein. The work features biographies of individuals of Serbian origin who have made significant contributions to science, literature, music, art, and sports across various historical periods.

Notable figures included in the collection are Nikola Tesla, Arsen Dedić, Petar Preradović, Dubravka Ugrešić, and Vladimir Beara. Milorad Pupovac, president of the SDSS, stated during the book's presentation in Zagreb that the work is essential for showing that the Serbian community in Croatia cannot be defined solely by the war in the 1990s, but rather by a long historical continuity.

However, the publication has faced some criticism within the community. Journalist Srđan Sekulić expressed dissatisfaction on social media, noting the absence of legendary footballer Siniša Mihajlović, who was born in Borovo, from the selection.
