We would like to draw attention to the continuing gesture of solidarity demonstrated to our project by the members of the Advisory Committee from the countries of the former Yugoslavia as well as by members of the International Advisory Committee from other foreign countries. We take this opportunity to express our warmest thanks to all friends and associates of our journal, especially to contributors who have donated their articles for publication in Belgrade Circle. Our particular gratitude is due to professors Richard Rorty, Donald Davidson, Jurgen Habermas and Manfred Frank; not only have they donated their articles for this issue, but have helped us immeasurably with their continuing commitment and support. Since the publication of our test issue, we have enjoyed the symbolic support of several members of our International Advisory Committee of Belgrade Circle who have visited Belgrade as guests of our journal: Donald Davidson (Berkeley), Anthony Giddens (Cambridge) and Terry Eagleton (Oxford).

We are proud to announce that Manfred Frank, Jurgen Habermas, Alison M. Jaggar, Nebojsa Kujundzic, Tibor Varadi and Lino Veljak have in the meantime become members of our (International) Advisory Committee.
