Croatian culture/arts weekly published by Matica Hrvatska the premier Croatian cultural institution. Vijenac and Matica Hrvatska were hit by controversy in the Fall of 1998 when Matica's governing board stopped publication of a book by Branko Matan which raised the issue of Croatian war crimes against Bosnian Muslims during the Croat-Muslim war in Bosnia-Hercegovina. Although this issue had been raised previously by the independent publications such as feral Tribune and Nacional, this was the first time that the issue was raised by a "patriotic" and "credible" source such as Matica. The controversy also raised the issue of Vijenac's editorial policy and led to the expulsion or departure of the editorial board. Articles from the new Vijenac (in Croatian), devoid of political topics, can be found at the Matica Hrvatska site. The original editorial staff started their own weekly magazine for culture and social issues, named Zarez [Comma]. Read more about the controversy and Zarez in this interview with Andrea Zlatar, Zarez's editor-in-chief, published in Nacional.
