The book, which is considered a cultural event in Croatia and which is believed to be a capital work for the understanding of international relations, was presented by President Stipe Mesic's advisor Stanko Nick, a professor at Zagreb's Faculty of Political Sciences, Radovan Vukadinovic, and Radule Knezevic of "Golden marketing."
