ABSTRACT: Based on historiographical findings and the documents from the State Archives in Dubrovnik, the historical role and activities of members of one of the most important patrician lineages of Ulcinj are considered prosopographically and multidisciplinarily. The chronological, genealogical and onomastic compatibility of this lineage to expatriates of Ulcinj, Antonine family Gabro of Dubrovnik, are pointed out, too. The Dabris are recorded in available historical sources from the 14th century to the 1600s. Their prominent social position vividly reflects the centuries-old manifold contacts and challenges of life on the border. Especially exemplarily in that regard were the personage and the fate of the young interpretor Pasquale Dabri.

ABSTRACT: Missions of small states envoys to international congresses and conferences can be important for many reasons: historiographical, international law, foreign policy, or diplomatic character. Numerous international congresses were held in Europe in the 19th century. All of them, as a rule, were maintained after international crises, such as the Great Eastern Crisis (1876‒1878), which is directly related to our work.

ABSTRACT: The article is dedicated to the humanitarian aid that Russia provided to Montenegro during the First Balkan War. At the invitation of the Montenegrin government and the Montenegrin Red Cross Society, the Russian Red Cross sent the Yelisvetin and Kharkov Sanitary Detachments, which were briefly joined by the Moscow City Detachment. Having in mind the difficult economic situation in Montenegro, the Russian public also provided financial assistance, which was used to organize soup kitchens for the population and help the families of wounded and killed soldiers. Funds for humanitarian purposes were sent through the Russian Imperial Mission in Cetinje and Grand Duchess Milica Nikolajevna.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, the author gives an overview of the political situation in Banija and the regions of the Banovina Savska and Primorska and since August 1939 the Banovina of Croatia, areas where the Serbian and Croatian populations were mixed. Residents, mostly Serbs and Yugoslav loyalists of Glina and the wider area were deeply concerned about the deteriorating trends in interethnic relations, which are characterized by open threats, pressure and aggression aimed at political victory and secession of Croatia from Yugoslavia. The situation worsened after 1936 due to the strengthening of the Croatian Peasant and Civil Guard. The establishment of the Banovina of Croatia, intended to calm tensions, contributed instead to the radicalization of the situation. The Serb and Yugoslav affiliated population followed the situation with understandable concern, which only worsened as the Axis Powers have accomplished their goals in Europe. The reports of the

civilian authorities, the gendarmerie and the army are full of the facts and testimonies about the situation and gloomy predictions if nothing would be done. Military and defense activities were sabotaged not only by the Frankists but also by the very top of the CPP (HSS). The creators of the Agreement (1939) on the Serbian side were deeply disappointed and felt betrayed. Newspapers and brochures are spread and read, retold too. That could only fueled mistrust and concerns, even fears. The loyal attitude of the SDS in the coalition with the HSS, as well as the calls for solidarity and cooperation from the part of local representatives of the ruling JRZ, did not reverse the increasingly radical attitudes of the HSS and the illegal Frankists. The events in April and May 1941 showed that the fears were justified.

ABSTRACT: Based on the extensive literature and available sources, the article discusses the life and work of Kotoshikhin, a Russian diplomat who fled to the Swedes in the middle of the 17th century. The author comes to the conclusion that the activity of the Russian Diplomatic Office could attract the attention not only of Swedish diplomats who dealt with Russia, but also as a result of contained novelties that only later became generally accepted in world diplomatic practice.

ABSTRACT: Petar Šobajić (1891 – 1957) was a Montenegrin anthropographer and ethnographer dedicated to thorough research of Montenegrin clans and their ethnogenesis. This paper primarily deals with research that Petar Šobajić conducted in region of Bjelopavlići, whose results Sobajic published in 1923, under the name Бјелопавлићи и Пјешивци (Bjelopavlici i Pjesivci) in the Serbian Ethnographical Journal. The main concern of this paper are the old populations of Španji and Lužani. The first step was uncovering the academic influences which inspired Šobajić to conduct this type of research, then present the content of his ideas. The body of the paper takes an archaeological stance, providing a critical approach through a multidisciplinary lens on Šobajic’s ideas. In that sense, the knowledge that Šobajić presented is not set in stone as ‘the people’s truth’, but as important written oral tradition which can be critically opposed with various archaeological and historical evidence and records.
