ABSTRACT: Ever since the constitution of the state by the beginning of 18th century until the loss of its sovereignty, Montenegro had continuous territorial aspirations toward its surrounding regions. Its territorial aspirations changed their volume and direction during these two centuries, but they remained a constant political goal in its state politics. This political goal, ideologically based on the principle of historical right, historians named as the creation of ‘great’ Montenegro. Since the middle of the 19th century, Montenegro started more intensive building of its political influence in the regions it had pretensions for by making a network of political commissioners and supporters. Through this networking Cetinje was able to influence national-political movements and happenings in these regions. Until 1978 political influence of Montenegro was dominantly directed toward Herzegovina, and after 1878 this influence was mostly oriented toward Polimlje region, Sandal Novi Pazar and north Albania, i.e. Toward the regions that remained part of the Ottoman Empire after the Congress of Berlin. Taking advantage of weak international position of the Ottoman Empire and using often violation of material and personal rights of Orthodox population in these regions as a reason for action, Montenegro managed to obtain informal status of protector state of this part of Ottoman citizens in border regions. This opened a wide space for national work in these regions and Montenegro conducted these activities in different ways. It’s influence in this regions Montenegro conducted, in the first place, through local authorities in border regions, which also had firm connections with Orthodox (Serb) population on the other side of the border. Centre from these activities were conducted toward Berane, Bijelo Polje and Gusinje districts was Andrijevica, and center for activities regarding Pljevlja district was Nikšić. By the middle of 90’s (1895) Border political commissariats were founded-in Andrijevica for Sandjak Novi Pazar and Kosovo region, in Grahovo for Bosnia and Herzegovina and in Podgorica for Albania.

ABSTRACT: In the following text author is trying to explain the motives of formation and the destiny of Montenegrin army in Italy after the disappearing of the state  of Montenegro and detronization of Petrović’s dynasty. The destiny of Montenegro was considerably defined by the fact that Montenegro’s army didn’t manage to withdraw its troops to the ally’s territory as Serbian army did after the capitulation at the beginning of 1916. The efforts to restored Montenegrin’s army in emigration during the war were  ineffective and generally were  made impossible by Serbian and French diplomacy.

Reestablishment of Montenegrin army in march 1919, which was politically and financially supported by Italians was motivated by Montenegrin’s emigration idea of making military invasion on Montenegro for which they believed it  was occupied by Serbian army, as well as by the Italian diplomatic level and implementation of territorial pretensions which was guaranteed by London’s pact 10 1915.

Depending completely on the Italian side from the financial and logistical point of view, Montenegro’s army had a more important role as an instrument of making pressure to the newly established positions.

The fact that Montenegro’s army was situated far from Montenegro (in the Tirenian sea), that the number of it’s soldiers was limited on 1500 men and the army was scattered and dismissed immediately after Italy and KSHS reached the agreement in Rapal in November 1920 are just pointing on that.

The process of dismissal of Montenegro’s army was accompanied by reluctance of Montenegrin emigration and a great part of Italian public and it was terminated in December of 1921.

Montenegrin soldiers could choose between going back to their born country or going to live into another foreign country.

Most of them chose to go back to Montenegro while a great deal of eminent leaders decided to go to Argentina, USA or some other country after all their attempts to leave all together to the Soviet Russia failed .

Later on, a part of these emigrants will come back to Montenegro.

ABSTRACT: In his article the author tells about oldest singing clubs in territory of today Montenegro. Until 1918^th there were a few singing clubs in territory of today Montenegro. The oldest singing club was ‘Jedinstvo’ in Kotor in Boka Kotorska which was part of Austro-Hungary until 1918 and only that year, after decay of ‘Dual Monarchy’, it was annexed to Montenegro.

In 1830 there was a ‘choir of Kotor singers’ and Kotor Serbian singing club ‘Jedinstvo’ dates to this year. This club had a very significant cultural-educational and national mission in the past. Under it’s influence in 1871 a singing club was organized in Cetinje. Singing club was a part of Cetinje library, founded by the beginning of 1868. It’s first conductor was also a Check, Anton Šulc, and after him František Vimer. Tradition of this oldest Cetinje singing club inherited First church singing club ‘Njegoš’  (1907-1915)

Until the end of independent Montenegrin state (beginning of 19^th century) all towns in Montenegro developed their singing clubs: in Podgorica was organized ‘Branko’, in February of 1892nd in Nikšić ‘Zahumlje’ (1898), in Ulcinj ‘Ulcinj singing club’ (1899), in Pljevlja ‘Setbian singing club Bratstvo’ (1889), in Danilovgrad ‘Jedinstvo’ (1908), in Bar ‘Bratimstvo’ (1910), in Kolašin ‘Bjelasica’ (beginning of 20^th century) etc.

Authors tells in detail on all these singing clubs in period till 1918, on their conductors, repertoire, successes and difficulties. All these singing clubs continued their work in the period between two world wars, and some of them existed even after the Second World War.

ABSTRACT: During the Second World War Yugoslavian Royal Government in refuge tried to obtain information on the situation in Yugoslavia and various news reached it, among them those on Vlatko Maček and Josip Broz Tito.

News on Maček show that he stayed in different places in Yugoslavia and foreign countries. Details show his various positions in the country as well as his various political attitudes. News related to Josip Broz Tito tell about leader, or more correctly, leaders of rebellion movement with various names of leaders and partisan groups. Without a deeper contemplation this could illustrate heterogeneity of communist-partisan movement. Compared with the name of general Mihailović, whose name became widely known in allies circles, it can be said that Josip Broz was anonymity in circles of Yugoslavian Royal Government until the end of 1943.

War situation impeded quality and timely obtaining of information. News on Maček and Tito tell the problems with realizing true situation because they were controversial, incomplete, rare etc. War reality demanded direct action and functional military-political proceeding. News on Maček and Tito just show how picture got blurred and how cut up peaces it was from the refugee perspective. When one hadn’t both of one’s legs firmly in one’s ‘own soil’, one got a distorted picture.

ABSTRACT: The subject of this paper is the presentation of the role, institutional structure and prospects of the Central European Initiative ( CEI) as one of the forms of regional cooperation.

The paper presents the inception and the development so far of this organization which includes 17 member states. The member states differ among themselves in the economic aspect – primarly in respect of democratic  tradition and the level of integration into the European and Euro Atlantic structures, primarily into the European Union.

Special attention has been given to the basic functions and fields of action of the CEI, as well as to its institutional structure which compromises: institutions in the field of executive and legislative powers, in the field of economic relations, working groups ( standing and ad hoc groups), Secretariat of the CEI and the Executive Secretariat.

Included is the presentation of prospects of development of the CEI reflected mainly in issues that arise from the enlargement of the European Union and in issues related to the internal organization and decision-making procedures within the CEI.

The European Union enlargement by five member states of the CEI. Positions on the so-called, ‘optimistic’ and ‘pessimistic scenario’, i.e. predictions as to whether the future European Union members will further strengthen or weaken their activities within the CEI.

Discussions on the changes of the organization and procedures in the CEI, have a common legal denominator in the changes of the Rules of Procedure of the CEI, primarily in the part of the decision-making process within the organization (by consensus or by majority  of votes) as well as I terms of ways of its financing.

The concluding remarks indicate that, regardless of the existing problems in its activities, the CEI has considerably contributed to the political tolerance and understanding in the region of Europe, that it has become an important role model for approximation of different social systems and cultural patterns, as a precondition for a true integration and striving of a number countries towards an economically prosperous society and a society with the rule of law.

ABSTRACT: Miodrag A. Vasiljević, one of the most competent experts of music folklore of this region, had been very interested in herdsmen’s songs of the north and northeast of Montenegro. The motive of his interest arises from the specific way of living in this area, which caused the development of some significant attributes that characterize this population, and left important songs in their folklore, too. Over-sighting many particular features of herdsmen’s life and their songs, we want to give an indirect affirmation of Vasiljević’s (sup)positions. We also want to distract that the main issue of these songs is text aprop. Poetry, not melody, as it is well known that melody is in function of text and to underline dramatic plot in traditional Montenegrin songs.

We want to thank prof. dr. sci. Zorislava Vasiljević that consigned scripts from Miodrag A. Vasiljević’s estate to be published for the first time.
