Talk:Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts

Đuro Daničić article states that in 1866, he was elected for secretary general of the Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts (JAZU) in Zagreb, where he played a key role in preparing the Academy's Dictionary, "Croatian or Serbian Dictionary of JAZU".

This article states that YAZU never existed. Ivan Supek article says that he was the member of YAZU. Mihailo Petrović, Dragutin Gorjanović-Kramberger and Lavoslav Ružička as well.

Also in Josip Juraj Strossmayer - "Strossmayer was instrumental in the founding of the Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts in 1867".

This is an interesting point. I will look into it and hopefully come up with an answer next week, after examining papers in Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (SANU) and in Yugoslav Museum in Belgrade.
