{{Cquote|An Addition to the Research of the Problem of Bleiburg & Way of the Cross:
*''An addition to the Research of the Problem of Bleiburg and Way of the Cross. This paper dedicated to the 60th anniversary of these tragic events represents a small step towards the elaboration of known data and brings a list of yet unknown and unpublished original documents, mostly belonging to the Yugoslavian Military and Political Government 1945-1947.
''
*''Amongst those documents are those mostly relating to Croatian territory although a majority of concentration camps and execution sites were outside of Croatia, in other parts of Yugoslavia. The author hopes that the readers will receive a complete picture about events related to ''Bleiburg'' and the Way of The Cross and the suffering of numerous Croats, which is confirmed directly in many documents and is related to the execution of a person or a whole group of people and sometimes non-stop for days.''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=27516&lang=en|title=Hrcak Portal of Scientific Journals of Croatia: An Addition to the Research of the Problem of Bleiburg & Way of the Cross|date=[[2010]]|accessdate=2010-10-07}} Scientific Journal by Zdravko Dizdar [http://www.unizg.hr/homepage/ University of Zagreb] </ref>}}
