Citation and References

In the second type, the author's surname and the year are written in parentheses (Dimkov, 2005), and in the case of a more precise citation, the pages can also be indicated (Dimkov, 2005:64).

If the bibliographical list contains sources in different alphabets, the descriptions are formed in separate alphabetical rows, starting with the Cyrillic ones.
