The “Rok” magazines were published from 1969 to 1970 by Zagreb-born Bora Ćosić, who lived and worked in Belgrade at the time and refrained from claiming any specific nationality. Ćosić rose to become a prominent and award-winning literary figure through his work as a novelist, a playwright, a dialog writer for films, and a translator. He also published texts in various magazines and held readings throughout Europe. Following the collapse of Yugoslavia, Ćosić—an opponent of Serbian policies—went into voluntary exile by moving to Berlin in 1992. “Rok” [time limit] was one of several magazines that Ćosić edited, and it became an important literary and artistic vehicle for the Yugoslav intelligentsia of the time.
