On the initiative of the Zagreb Franciscans , with the support of the then Archbishop of Zagreb , Franjo Šeper , the newspaper Glas Koncila appeared for the first time on October 4, 1962 to report on the Second Vatican Council .

The newspaper appeared on September 29, 1963 under the motto The New Face of the Church . It was published by the Archdiocese of Zagreb, whose bishop was also the editor-in-chief of the Glas Koncila . In the mid-1970s, the circulation was given as 140,000. Until 1984 the Glas Koncila was published every two weeks.

Glas Koncila has been published weekly since January 1985 and was published by the Archdiocese of Zagreb, Split-Makarska , Vrhbosna (Sarajevo) , Rijeka and Zadar , and from 1987 to 1991 also by the Archdiocese of Belgrade .
