Throughout the history of Serbian-Romanian relations there were many important personalities who contributed to a rich and significant cooperation in the field of history, culture, arts, religion. Some of those personalities influenced relations between the two countries for decades; however, they remained neglected by scholarly research. Existing academic research on bilateral relations between two countries often neglects individuals who brought about innovative ideas, exchange, and cultural transfers. The aim of the collection of papers is to analyse biographies of personalities in the case study chapters which brought change and contributed to enhance Serbian-Romanian relations.
The Balkan History Association encourage interdisciplinary proposals with the special emphases on: personalities who contributed to the culture and arts among Serbs and Romanians; mutual influences in the religious sphere and interreligious dialogue; diplomatic and political relations and historical personalities; Serbian-Romania relations within a wider European context.
