God. 24 Br. 1 (2026): Philological Studies

Dear Readers,

It is our great pleasure to present the online edition of the first issue of this year’s Philological Studies, an international journal devoted to Slavic studies.

The present issue brings together twenty contributions, including sixteen research articles and four reviews, addressing a broad range of topics related to Slavic literatures, languages, cultures, and cultural history. The contributions are organized into the journal’s established sections: Philosophical and Cultural Issues; History and Philology; The Word in Historical and Cultural Context; Literature in an Intercultural Context; Contemporary Society in Culture, Language, and Literature; Speech Studies and Language Didactics; and Reviews and Information.

This year’s issue has been prepared in collaboration between the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of the University of Zagreb (Croatia) and our partner institutions: the Institute of Macedonian Literature at Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje (North Macedonia), the Faculty of Arts of the University of Ljubljana (Slovenia), and the Institute for Literature and Art in Belgrade (Serbia).

We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to all those who have contributed to this issue, and particularly to the authors, whose scholarly contributions once again reaffirm the significance of regional and international collaboration and networking in the humanities. We hope that this issue will provide stimulating perspectives and encourage further scholarly dialogue and cooperation across the field of Slavic studies.
