The May/June double issue of Matica magazine was released in early June, featuring many fascinating articles from the homeland and around the world. This double issue, not customary in our yearly release schedule, comes on the heels of CHF director Knezović’s expression of regret that, “Due to budgetary constraints and the need to reduce costs, Matica magazine will offer more frequent double issues in the course of the year.”
The cover features the planned restored Vukovar water tower from the article on the renovation of this symbol of the Homeland War of independence.
