• Nevenka BOGOJEVIĆ-GLUŠČEVIĆ, Provisions of the Medieval Cattaro Statute on Testament and their Application in Notary Practice, 7-24   DOWNLOAD

Abstract: Analyzing archive materials, mostly written in Latin alphabet, legal historians and romanists have come to a conclusion that the hereditary legal institutes treated, as welll as other institutes of the private law of the southern Adriatic communes, had a feature undertaken mainly from the classical roman Law, or recepted ius communae. Some deviations were present to a less or greater extent, and reflected direct and indirect influences of Slavic and Byzantine law that were coming from the Balkan Peninsula’s inland to coastal centres. Further investigations on detailed sources of many issues are needed to make a mosaic of the dominant influences on the formation of medieval private law in Adriatic coastal towns. This paper is a continuation of my research on the institute of testament in Medieval Cattaro, and it is related to the analysis of the statutory provisions on testing freedom and obliged testaments forms, as well as the application of these form in order to determine a real influence and significance of the classical Roman law and similar ones, developed later on its normative arrangement and real legal life.

Abstract: Although there is an enormous literature and numerous volumes of historical material on Montenegro Outlaw Movement, after the First World War, and on Montenegrin army in Italy, there are still some gaps and unanswered questions regarding this topic. One of these gaps is the participation of the Herzegovinians and Bosnians in the Montenegrin legion in Gaeta, and their motives or reasons for joining the fight for dynastic rights of dethroned Montenegrin leader. According to the statements of the returnees to the Kingdom of SHS in the March of 1921, we can see how they reached Gaeta and understand the relations between the officers and the soldiers in the military camp. Besides, their statements provide valuable facts on suffering of the subjects of the newly formed Kingdom of SHS in the Italian camps, after the First World War.

Abstract: The paper examines how Western interests and perceptions of the Balkans affected the policy of great western powers towards the region at the beginning and at the end of the twentieth century.

Published in 1914, shortly before the beginning of the World War One, it condemned the atrocities committed by the belligerents and advocated closer transatlantic cooperation in formulating Western policy towards the Balkans. Reprint of the 1914. report was published in 1993 with the introduction written by George F. Kennan during the Civil War in Yugoslavia and led to the second Carnegie Endowment report entitled „Unfinished Peace“, prepared by the international commission led by former Belgium prime minister, Leo Tindemans. Elaborating on the 1914 thesis that only transatlantic cooperation can pacify the post-Cold War Balkans and control the Balkans nationalisms that were, in Kennan`s opinion, threatening peace and stability in Europe. Even though he considered the Balkans an European problem Kennan conclude that this situation is one to which US cannot be indifferent advocating the use of force to stop the war and long-lasting involvement of the West in reconstruction of the region.

ABSTRACT: The paper deals with the position, intentions and perspectives of Austrian-Hungarian Empire at the end of XIX and the beginning of XX century. In order to maintain its status of the Great Power, it sought the area for expansion in the Balkan, as the only direction possible. On the other side, the growing power of the newly formed Balkan states, predominantly Serbia, presented an obstacle to its pretensions on Thessalonica, which was tried to overcome by creation of independent Albanian state under decisive influence of Vienna, as well as through backing the Bulgarian side in Second Balkan war. Failure of this plan led to further escalation of the conflict with Serbia, with clear perspective of the military clash.

ABSTRACT: The central theme of this article is the analysis of the archival series of the State Archive of Venice (Archivio di Stato di Venezia) called Capi del Consiglio de’ Dieci: Lettere di Rettori e di altre cariche. The documents used are those related to the cities of Budva, Bar and Ulcinj (in the sixteenth century), which – through the reports of city officials to the Venetian central authorities – speak of the life of these cities and their population in a period marked by the danger of war and a direct threat from the Ottoman army. In the article, particular attention is paid to the analysis of those documents speaking directly about the organization of the network of agents and spies in the hinter land of the aforementioned cities, as well as the diplomatic and political attempts of Venetian officials to attract the population of the immediately neighbouring areas to fight under the standard of St. Mark. These sources are at the same time valuable source material for the study of numerous various elements from the history of Venetian acquisitions in the southern part of the eastern Adriatic at the very beginning of the Early Modern  Age.

ABSTRACT: No government could be maintained on a bare force, so its ideological justification, i.e. legitimization, is carried out under the auspices of religion and tradition, mainly through the sacralization of power. The basic feature of the entire ancient propaganda is the monolithic and imposing state propaganda whose thematic backbone is the divinization of the state and rulers. The emergence of the very term propaganda, and its institutional development is related to the Roman Catholic Church.

ABSTRACT: While the 33rd chapter of the De administrando imperio contains the description of the early medieval county of Zahumlje, there are many unclear places inside. According to our opinion they mostly originate from the praxis of Constantin VII Porphyrogenitus to make conclusions based on his logical judgment and, mostly, dubious etymological constructions obtained through his informers and own observations. Considering that the name Zahumlje has been disappearing with time, having been replaced by the formulation Humska zemlja (Hum’s land), the author points out the difference between these geographical categories, carried out their ubication and suggested the reasons for their change.

• Goran BEHMEN, Ideološki aspekti arengi, zaketvi i sankcija u srednjovjekovnim bosanskim ispravama, 167-175  Download

ABSTRACT: Arengas, oaths and sanctions in medieval documents present not only formal parts of documents, they also, through its theological intonation, reflect Christian ideological concept of European medieval society. Arengas, which appear in documents of Bosnian Middle Ages since the time of coronation of Tvrtko I Kotromanic, testify about the acceptance of sovereign – potentate, whose authority comes from the Christ himself and who is given the legitimacy only by the divine authority. Arengas of the Bosnian kings were written under the strong influence of Raska charters and, as in the case of Tvrtko I Kotromanic, correspond to authority being elicited from the family ties with Nemanjic family. The oaths in the documents, both by the governing dynasty of Kotromanic, and by other major noblemen families (Kosaca, Pavlovic, Hrvatinic) mention Holly Gospel, Honourable Cross of Christ, evangelists and apostles, while sanctions contain poena spiritualis with the threat of curse in the spirit of Christian theological concept.
