| Summary | "Yougo-Slavia" by G. Smits is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the complexities of the Yougo-Slavic identity and the struggles faced by the Servian people in the context of political turmoil in the Balkans. The author recounts his personal journey and observations of the Servian society, aiming to foster understanding and appreciation for the Servians’ resilience and cultural heritage during challenging historical periods. At the start of the text, the author reflects on his initial skepticism about the Servians, shaped by negative stereotypes he had encountered while living in Hungary. Preparing for a brief business trip to Serbia amidst poor perceptions of its people, he admits to feeling anxious and distrustful upon arrival in Belgrade. However, his view radically shifts as he spends more time in the country, ultimately leading him to study its history, economy, and national character. This change in perspective marks the beginning of his deep appreciation for the Servian spirit, which he attributes not only to their struggles against foreign oppressors but also to their rich cultural legacy, which he comes to celebrate in his writing.
