This is the first in the series of these publications, titled – “Why Dialogue of Croatian and Serbian Historians?, and it contains a selection of plenary lectures and papers, primarily dealing with principal topics, from eight previous conferences of the Dialogue of Croatian and Serbian Historians. All papers, selected and edited by I. Graovac, in consultation with the editorial team of the Dialogue series: ON THE DIALOGUE (H.-G. Fleck, Federal Republic of Germany, Dušan Gamser, Serbia and Monte Negro, and I. Graovac, Republic of Croatia), and the editor-in-chief (Daniela Krivda, secretary of the Dialogue Association), have already been published in individual issues of former conference publications: - H.-G.
