The first issue of Jugoslavija was published in Fall 1949. ^[3] The founding editor of the illustrated magazine was Oto Bihalji-Merin . ^{[1] [3]} He was a Serbian writer, art historian and curator . ^[4] The magazine was published biannually in Serbo-Croatian , English and German . ^{[3] [5]} Later French and Russian language editions were added. ^[5] The magazine was distributed abroad, since its goal was to present sociopolitical situation, national treasures and touristic places of Yugoslavia to the Western readers. ^{[3] [6]} It also contained articles reflecting Balkan culture. ^[7] It also covered articles on the history of Yugoslavia. ^[8]

Some volumes of Jugoslavija were dedicated to single republics within Yugoslavia, including Bosnia and Herzegovina , Macedonia and Slovenia which had either small population or were located at the far end of the country or had a multicultural structure. ^[4] However, the magazine never featured Croatia or Serbia of which population was dominant in the federation. ^[4]
