Author: Vladimir Ćorović
Title: The Relations Between Serbia And Austria-Hungary In The 20th Century
Published by: Archives of Yugoslavia, Institute for Balkan Studies (SASA), and Hoover Institution in 2018
Vladimir Ćorović analyzes the relations between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Kingdom of Serbia at the beginning of the 20th century, whose conflict led to the outbreak of WWI. As early as I932, Ćorović met Professor Ralph Haswell Lutz, the chairman of the Board of Directors at the Hoover Institution and signed a contract with Stanford University for an American edition of his book. The translation of Ćorović’s study was undertaken by the well-known Yugoslav diplomat Stojan Gavrilović. However, the planned American edition ironically shared the destiny of the original edition in Serbian language. The publication of the study in 1936 was not realized, since the Yugoslav government complied with the request of the Minister of the Third Reich (unknown representative) and forbade it. The Serbian edition was finally published in 1992 and the English language version in 2018.

The Persian newspaper collection (1949-1999) comprises sixty different titles of publication, in English, Fārsī, and French.
