Ever since last year, there has been a buzz surrounding the 30th anniversary of the collapse of Yugoslavia. In Romania, the most remarkable event that marked the occasion was the release of Noam Chomsky’s anthology, Yugoslavia: Peace, War and Dissolution, translated by Gabriel Tudor for Litera Publishing. Another one – Historia magazine dedicated a special number to the topic, which can still be bought (I haven’t got around to reading it, though, so I am prudently recommending it). It’s little, especially for a country who was close to the fiery years of the former federation.
