This article deals with observations on Slovenian literature published in Serbian literary journals between 1905 and 1940. Among the authors of these publications were Serbian literary historians, students of Professor Pavle Popović-Uroš Đonić, Jovan Babić, and Ljubica Janković-and Slovenian literary historians and journalists: Ivan Prijatelj, Fran Ilešić, Josip Regali, and Tone Potokar. Their dedicated work greatly contributed to better mutual knowledge between the two nations. Unlike their teacher, who believed that the literature of the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenians should be studied as a whole, his students wrote about Slovenian literature as a separate national literature.
