    *The first issue of the “Osisani jez” ( "Trimmed Hedgehog") journal appeared on January 5th in 1935. The publisher was the Yugoslav Journalists’ Association - Belgrade section, and Dobrica Kuzmic was its first editor in chief.
    Regarding its long and permanent issuing, “Osisani jez” is the oldest illustrated journal in Southeast Europe.
    During the Second World War, it was published under the names of “Partizanski jez” and “Bodljikavi jez”, while in the war camp of Osnabruck, in the very heart of the enslaved Europe it appeared as “Logorski jez” which was a unique expression of resistance to the penetration of Fascism into European and world’s press.
