History
Social Life, founded by Mirko Kosić in 1920, was Serbia's first sociological journal and it was modelled after the example of German journals. The journal was published until the following year when it was interrupted due to inadequate funding. In the 1930s, sociology gained recognition as an academic discipline in Serbia, primarily at the Faculty of Law in Belgrade. The new Sociološki Pregled aimed to follow French sociological traditions, publishing extensive, high-quality articles on various sociological topics fostering a multidisciplinary approach aimed to dispel romantic and nationalistic ideas.
