Sažetak
A serial publication of the Museum of Slavonia the Osijek Journal, which has been coming out since 1942, was suppressed in 1948 - a double issue (II and III). It had never been obnoxious to the authorities before or came into conflict with them either. Although the articles for that journal number got through censorship of the then Ministry of Education in NR Croatia and were published afterwards, the suppression occured when its two articles were severely criticized by Borba, an official newspaper of the Yugoslav Communist Party and therefore the most influential one in the country. The texts that Borba had found offensive, were : An orthodox element as a secondary factor informing the civil class in Osijek - written by Josip Bosendorfer and Grammar or linguistics? - written by Ivan Medved. On account of these texts the Journal was accused of promoting Ustash a pseudo-scientific views, struggle
against fraternity and unity etc. The publishing of this article meant actually a sign not only for the Journal suppression but also prosecution of the above mentioned authors, which eventually happened. A trial began in court of Osijek where the prosecution brought up many preposterous accusations. Bosendorfer was accused mostly of a thesis in his article by which the Serbian civil class in Osijek derives from the Tzintzar; which wasn't his thesis exactly but had been taken from the book by D.J. Popovic - Of the Tzintzars ; Medved was accused of criticizing the former school system that is a criticism of socialism period. Both men were fired from the Museum of Slavonia because of this affair and eventually pensioned off. After their appeal, the Supreme Court of NR Croatia returned the verdict of not guilty, i.e. set aside the verdict of the County Court of Osijek.
