The professional collaboration between Milorad Pavi\u0107 and Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107 began long before their marriage. One of their first major joint projects was the preparation of a bibliography for Pavi\u0107\u2019s Collected Works published by Prosveta. Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107 compiled \u201cA Contribution to the Bibliography of Milorad Pavi\u0107,\u201d published in 1990 in The Anchorite in New York<\/em>, as part of the Collected Works, and subsequently issued as a separate publication by Prosveta in 1991. The bibliography covered Pavi\u0107\u2019s books, translations, scholarly and theoretical works, literary texts published in periodicals from 1964 to 1990, and writings about his work from 1952 to 1990.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their collaboration continued and expanded during their life together. Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107 followed the bibliography, translations and international reception of Pavi\u0107\u2019s work, participated in dealings with Serbian and foreign publishers, and documented his literary presence in different countries and media. In 1996, for a new edition of Pavi\u0107\u2019s Collected Works published by Dragani\u0107, she compiled the substantially expanded \u201cBio-Bibliography of Milorad Pavi\u0107.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1992, Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107 also published Pri\u010da o du\u0161i i telu. Slojevi i zna\u010denja u prozi Milorada Pavi\u0107a<\/em> (A Story of the Soul and the Body: Layers and Meanings in the Prose of Milorad Pavi\u0107<\/em>, Prosveta), a book devoted to the interpretation of Pavi\u0107\u2019s prose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milorad Pavi\u0107 and Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107 also wrote two books together: Two Stories from Kotor<\/em> (Dereta, Belgrade, 1998) and A Love Novel in Two Stories<\/em> (\u010cigoja \u0161tampa, Belgrade, 2004).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Milorad Pavi\u0107\u2019s death on November 30, 2009, their collaboration did not end; it took on a new form. Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107 continued to work on his literary legacy, new editions and translations, copyright and publishing contracts, as well as on organizing, expanding and publishing his bibliography and literary estate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Pavi\u0107\u2019s death, at least 275 posthumous editions of his works have been documented in Serbia and around the world \u2014 traditional printed books, electronic books and audio editions. This figure is not final, as the bibliography is continuously being expanded with new editions and newly discovered bibliographic entries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A large part of this work is carried out through Milorad Pavi\u0107\u2019s official website, which has developed into an extensive digital archive of his work and its worldwide reception. New editions and translations, bibliographic data, literary criticism and scholarly studies, doctoral dissertations, interviews, newspaper, television and radio features, as well as other documents concerning Pavi\u0107 and his work, are continuously recorded on the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A distinct area of this work concerns the life of Pavi\u0107\u2019s writings in other media. Since his death, his prose has continued to inspire theatrical productions and dramatizations, radio and audio adaptations, films and video works, musical compositions, visual and digital art projects, artists\u2019 books and other forms of creative response. Reader reception is also followed on new digital platforms, in electronic libraries and across international literary networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, interviews, television and radio conversations, photographs, documents, theatre programmes, recordings and other materials are being collected and systematized. They document not only Pavi\u0107\u2019s work during his lifetime but also his increasingly diverse posthumous presence across different cultures and media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This work also encompasses the Milorad Pavi\u0107 Legacy: preserving his literary and documentary estate, working with scholars, translators, publishers, artists and other visitors, and connecting the physical archive with an ever-expanding digital one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, the professional collaboration between Milorad Pavi\u0107 and Jasmina Mihajlovi\u0107 has now lasted for four decades. It began with bibliographic work before their marriage, continued through joint literary and publishing projects and two books written together, and, after Pavi\u0107\u2019s death, has continued through work on his literary legacy, new editions, translations, theatrical productions, other media, reception, archives and the Legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collaboration has, in fact, outlived one of its participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
