President Milanović Receives 6th Congress of Croatian Historians Delegation
The President of the Republic Zoran Milanović received in his Office a delegation of the 6th Congress of Croatian Historians, which was held from the 29th of September until the 2nd of October 2021 in Rijeka under the patronage of the President of the Republic.
Culture was the main topic of the congress, since Rijeka was the European Capital of Culture in 2020. The congress was organized by the Croatian National Committee for Historical Sciences, the Croatian Historical Society from Zagreb and the Department of History of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of the University of Rijeka, with the participation of several other co-organizers from Rijeka and Krk Island. The congress was attended by more than two hundred Croatian historians and a number of foreign researchers of Croatian history. The presentations at the congress were attended by more than a hundred history teachers from primary and secondary schools across Croatia.
Although Croatian historians mostly research political history, issues of crises and wars, national identity and the history of Croatian statehood, the congress participants emphasized that there are still many historians who are ready to respond to calls stemming from the need for researching culture and cultural-historical issues.
The following persons attended the meeting with President Milanović: President of the Scientific Committee of the Congress Damir Agičić; President of the Organizing Committee Tomislav Galović; members of the Scientific Committee Neven Budak and Hrvoje Petrić from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of the University of Zagreb; member of the Scientific Committee and Deputy President of the Organizing Committee Maja Ćutić Gorup; members of the Organizing Committee Dubravka Božić Bogović, Kosana Jovanović, Andrea Roknić Bežanić, Goran Bilogrivić, Feđa Milivojević and Ines Srdoč-Konestra from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of the University of Rijeka; member of the Scientific Committee Gordan Ravančić; member of the Organizing Committee and Secretary of the Croatian Historical Society Marica Karakaš Obradov from the Croatian Institute of History in Zagreb; Suzana Leček from the Croatian Institute of History, Department for the History of Slavonia, Syrmia and Baranya in Slavonski Brod.
