BOOK ON CROATIA PRESENTED IN SWITZERLAND

ZAGREB, Oct 1 (Hina) - "Forced Union: Croatia and the Creation of the Yugoslav State 1918", a book written in French by Jasna Adler and published by Georg Editeur from Geneva, was presented in Bern in late September on an initiative of the Pro Croatia association, the Croatian Association for Cooperation of the Homeland and the Diaspora said in a statement on Wednesday. Presenting the book, author Adler outlined the main conclusions of her research. She pointed out that "Croatia had not been annexed to Serbia of its own will, but on the order of a new European balance which cracked with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, thus starting the last decolonization process in our part of Europe."
