The Serbian Cultural Society "Prosvjeta" (abbreviated: SKD "Prosvjeta" or

Serbs in Croatia
.

The association was established during

State Anti-fascist Council for the National Liberation of Croatia, during the genocide of Serbs in the Nazi puppet state of Croatia. In 1971 together with Matica hrvatska, it was forbidden on the grounds of promotion of nationalism
and remained closed until 1993.

History

Establishment

Prosvjeta was established on 18 November 1944 in the period of

Communist Party of Croatia.[2] Primary task of the new organization in the initial period was to fight illiteracy in rural areas.[2] Other ambitious plans included intention to establish the future Museum of Serbs of Croatia, central library, student dormitory as well as to develop cooperation with Croatian Writers' Association, Croatian Painters' Association, Music Association and Association for Cultural Cooperation with Soviet Union.[2]

Maspok period and 1971 closure

During the

Serbia's help regardless of the borders of the republics.[6]

Finally, SKD Prosvjeta's Rade Bulat demanded the establishment of an autonomous province for the Croatian Serbs, and there were calls to grant autonomy for Dalmatia as well.[6] The SKH central committee declared that no region of Croatia could make any legitimate claim to autonomy of any kind and labeled calls for regional Dalmatian autonomy as treason to the Croatian nation.[7] Such responses were in line with the SKH's objective of national homogenisation. To that end, the SKH blocked the option of declaring one's ethnic identity as regional in the 1971 census.[4] In 1971, after Maspok, organization work was suspended together with work of Matica hrvatska.[8] Initiative for reactivation of Prosvjeta work came in 1990, and it was implemented in 1993.[8]

In 1996, the Central Library of Serbs of Croatia was established. This library operates as a central national library of

Ministry of Culture .[11] Its task is to obtain, process and disseminate Serbian library materials and to inform the public.[12]

Library history

Prosvjeta began its first library activities during

During the period of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia until the beginning of the Breakup of Yugoslavia there were no initiatives for special libraries for Serbs of Croatia since general libraries had an adequate number of titles from Serbian literature.[13] In the years before, during and after the Croatian War of Independence interethnic relations in Croatia were significantly disrupted. This, among other things, resulted in the mass removal and destruction of literature that conflicting sides considered inappropriate or subversive.

In 1995, Prosvjeta as its main annual priority declared the establishment of the library,

Gymnasium Vukovar.[9]
