Drago Roksandić

Drago Roksandić (; born 12 January 1948) is a Croatian historian and a former professor emeritus at the University of Zagreb. He was a full professor at the Department of History, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences and served as the head of the Chair of the History of Central and Southeastern Europe.

He was the leader of the Triplex Confinium international research project, focused on Croatia's borders in the Euro-Mediterranean context, which was founded in 1996, and the long-term cultural program Desničini susreti. Roksandić has been involved in many influential research projects, including the Local Approaches to the Second World War in Southeastern Europe at Humboldt University in Berlin. He attended elementary school in several cities, including Sisak and Zagreb, and later completed high school in Zagreb.

Education Drago Roksandić studied philosophy and sociology in Zagreb (1966–67) before completing a history degree in Belgrade in 1975. Despite these allegations, the University of Zagreb, under Rector Damir Boras, awarded him the title of professor emeritus, overlooking the accusations. One key allegation stemmed from an incident in 2016, where Roksandić was accused of inappropriate behavior. In response, Roksandić issued a public statement on February 10, 2021, denying the accusations and claiming he was the victim of a media lynching. The committee recommended that he lose his rights and privileges as a professor emeritus, including access to his faculty email account.
