Translation of "doctoral dissertation" into Croatian

When I submitted in 2002 my book manuscript on regional political divisions and separatist conflicts in Ukraine and Moldova to Cambridge University Press, I got a response from its editor saying that they could not publish it because few people would be interested is this topic. This book, which was based on my doctoral dissertation, was published by another academic press after Ukraine came close to a Moldova-like violent break-up and a civil war during the “Orange Revolution” in 2004.

Kada sam 2002. godine predao rukopis moje knjige o regionalnim političkim podjelama i separatističkim sukobima u Ukrajini i Moldaviji izdavaču Cambridge University Press, dobio sam odgovor od urednika da je ne mogu objaviti jer bi malo ljudi bilo zainteresirano za tu temu. Ovu knjigu, koja je temeljena na mojoj doktorskoj disertaciji, objavio je drugi akademski izdavač nakon što je Ukrajina gotovo doživjela nasilni raspad i građanski rat sličan onome u Moldaviji tijekom “Narančaste revolucije” 2004. godine.
