A Note from the Editors

The two volumes (Volume 24(1–2)) of Serbian Studies are dedicated to Belgrade. Central to the history and culture of the Serbian people and over centuries the city has played an integral and often pivotal role in the events beyond its borders and in the world—east and west. Through articles, poetry, and prose these volumes speak to the complex, multifaceted character of Belgrade.

The editors would like to take this opportunity to extend their thanks to the contributing scholars and special thanks to Dr. Mirjana N. Radovanov Matarić. She obtained and translated the prose and six of the poems from the original Serbian as well as provided the biographical information on the authors. We are most grateful for her dedicated assistance.
