The Editorial Board accepts for consideration exclusively previously unpublished scientific papers.

This year journal celebrates its 45th anniversary. Since its first issue in 1976, around two thousand articles, more than two hundred book reviews and numerous additional contributions have been published in our journal.

Throughout the years the journal has been constantly adapting in accordance with political and economic context all in order to attract the best papers in its field. It also several times changed its name, editors and editorial boards.
