Sažetak
The first trade fair of the Zagreb council took place in September, 1909 on the area between the girl's secondary school and the public school, that is to say on the corner where Drašković Street meets Martićeva street.
Eventhough four shows were held before the first world war, 36 before the second world war, and from 1947 to today a great many more, this very important aspect of economic history, where many important business deals were signed and which laid the foundations for Zagreb's economy, does not yet have its own scholarly monograph. Efforts were always made to draw exhibitors, but when a fair ended, the event was quickly forgotten, or, it could be said, everything that could be done was done to minimize the accomplishment made.
It cannot be said that there were no attempts to write this history. Leaving aside various brief attempts in the period before 1928, when a Belgrade fair did not yet exist, in 1959 Dr. Rudolf Bićanić wrote a manuscript that could be called the "History of the Zagreb Trade Fair." Despite Bićanić's attempt to conform to the official historiography of the era, the manuscript was never published. In 1967, under the auspices of the Institute for the history of the worker's movement (now the Croatian Institute for History), the task of writing this history was assigned to the following group: Dr. Miroslav Despot, Dr. Tomislav Timet, Bruno Bušić, eng., and prof Mira Dimitrijević (Kolar). They were told to construct a project that within two years would prepare a comprehensive and theoretically sophisticated history of the Zagreb Trade Fair. The project was begun according to the guidelines set out, but it was never completed; after Dr. Tuđman was removed as director of the institute, the institute was deamed too "unreliable" to complete the task
