• 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.

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: Napoleon’s France could treat Montenegrins as either opponents or potential allies, but in both cases, it needed to get to know them well. Colonel Somier under-took the adventure of collecting the necessary information in the field during his research visit to Montenegro. The most significant information he collected was about the population number, especially those at the disposal of the army, about the economic resources of the country and the political and administrative situation. Considering the ever-open possibility of invading Montenegro, it was important to know the communication system within the country and to own topographic material on it. The information which was then gathered and later printed in the travel memoirs Historical and Political Travel to Montenegro represent an important historical source, especially since they were collected at a time when Montenegro had a modest state administration and consequently a modest output of documents i.e. historical sources. Viala’s work as a historical source needs to be approached critically like all narrative testimonies.

ABSTRACT: In the paper, the author considers the geopolitical importance of Illyrian provinces. The English and the Austrian attacked Illyrian provinces in 1814, the former at sea and the latter on land. The Austro-British conquest of Illyrian provinces was completed in April 1814. The example of the Illyrian provinces proves Napoleon’s intention to rule European territory. A subtle military strategist he was, Napoleon saw the European stage as a battlefield in which audacity could mitigate or disable opponent’s action. Such notion of Europe suffered defeat and marked the beginning of the “agreement of nations” in Europe several months before the Congress of Berlin.

ABSTRACT: In her work, the author deals with cultural circumstances in Boka Kotorska at the time of Illyrian provinces. The biggest cultural achievement of this period was the opening of the Theater in Kotor. There was hardly any planned cultural policy at the time of Illyrian provinces. The little investment in culture was primarily done for propaganda purposes. French administration in Boka Kotorska led to a cultural breakdown, destruction of navy, collapse of the old social structure, civil and religious emancipation and to the devastation of cultural heritage.
