Dejan Jovic's book Introduction to Yugoslavia brings the calmness of Argument into that polemic, into that cacophony of narratives, into that unnecessary passion, into that (actually) political conflict. To that extent, Jovic's Introduction to Yugoslavia is a kind of reset of previous interpretations, let's hope also a reset of perceptions of an important chapter of Croatian (clearly, not only Croatian) history. This book, written above all for the new generations, born after the breakup of Yugoslavia, explains what Yugoslavia was and wanted to be - what it succeeded in and what it failed to do. She also offers a convincing answer to the question - why she broke up. This opens up space for new research, based on archival material as well as on solid and convincing scientific research methodology. It is an invitation to a calm discussion as well as to further research, devoid of passion and prejudice. A calm, reasoned debate is not only the essence of democracy, it is democracy itself, Croatia, precisely on the subject of Yugoslavia, is more necessary than ever. That is why the "introduction" in the title is not accidental.
