ABSTRACT: This paper aims to explore the role of gender in the Gesta regum Sclavorum (GRS), also known as the Chronicle of the Priest of Dioclea. It critically examines the portrayal of women in this historical narrative, noting its reflection of a broader trend in medieval male-authored texts that perpetuate female inferiority and marginalization. In the GRS, women predominantly emerge as anonymous and passive consorts of kings, relegated primarily to the role of progenitors of heirs. Instances of women taking independent action, as exemplified by the widow of Hungarian prince Kys, then Cossara, the daughter of Samuel and wife of St. Vladimir, and Iaquinta, wife of King Bodin, are depicted in a manner that suggests their inclusion in the narrative is due to the benefits these actions provided to their male relatives. The portrayal of female agency in the GRS is thus interpreted as a reflection of the gendered social norms of the era, which were more inclined to resist rather than support the women’s empowerment.

ABSTRACT: The paper explores the rivalry between the Principality of Montenegro and Austria-Hungary in northern Albania. The rivalry in Malësia e Madhe inhabited by the Hoti, Gruda, Kelmendi, Kastrati and Shkreli tribes who inhabited the areas along the Ottoman-Montenegro border was especially investigated. Based primarily on Austro-Hungarian sources, it presents the views of the diplomacy of the Dual Monarchy on the Montenegrin plans as well as the formation of a counter policy that was supposed to prevent the influence of Cetinje and Prince Nikola Petrović-Njegoš on the neighbouring Albanian communities. These Austro-Hungarian plans are analysed, in the first place, on the reports of the consuls in Shkodër. The relationship between Montenegro and the Malësori  was seen as undesirable by Vienna and dangerous due to the predicted emergence of an autonomous Albania with Shkodër within its borders, which decision-makers in Austria-Hungary viewed as a necessary precondition for the sustainability of the future state and its own influence in it.

ABSTRACT: Czechoslovakian crisis and student rebellions in Western Europe and United States were just some of the aspects of global turmoil that may have influenced a certain number of contemporary historians to mark the year 1968 as the turning point in social and political history of the later half of the 20^th century. Alongside these events, communists parties of Western and Eastern Europe were going through a long period of subtile conflicts, while forming interest and ideological blocks that will later play a crucial role in the events that became known as the great schism of the socialist world, when the Soviet party finally lost the influence over the future eurocommunist parties, which was a period also marked by the sudden rise of the international influence of the Lague of Commmunists of Yugoslavia. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to contribute to the scientific research of the Yugoslav role in the events that predated and may have influenced the stated conflicts between the communist parties of Eastern and Western Europe, of which some aspects best came to light in the case of the failed atempt of Yugoslav and Italian communists to organize an international conference of the Marxist parties of Mediterranean. The paper is based upon the results of the research that included the unpublished sources from the historical archives of former Yugoslavia, which were analysed by implementation of the traditional historical method, as well as analysis of the scientific literature which provided social and ideological context of the researched historical events.

ABSTRACT: Based on published sources from the archives of the monastery of the Holy Trinity Sveta near Pljevlja, and with the help of literature published so far on the history of the monastery, the article deals with the period from the foundation of the monastery to 1869. The foundation of the monastery and its functioning in this period depended significantly on the relationship with the Ottoman authorities and the local christian and islamic population. Monastery life was influenced by Montenegro and Serbia, as well as the struggle of the Balkan peoples for liberation from Ottoman rule. In the article various circumstances are presented that affected the life of the monastery brotherhood, the cultivation of the monastery estates, as well as the construction and decoration of the monastery church.

ABSTRACT: The Lectionary and Pontifical of the Diocese of Kotor, which is now kept in St. Petersburg, contains on the free pages on the margins of the main text, transcripts of the documents of the Kotor authorities from the first half of the 12^th century until the middle of the 13^th century. In the Manuscript Department of the HAZU Archives in Zagreb, in manuscript collections from the 18^th century, there is a certain number of these documents. This paper provides basic information about these manuscripts and provides the texts of the transcripts of the documents.

ABSTRACT: In this paper we discuss the archeology of architecture on the example of the monastery of St. Michael on the Prevlaka island in Boka Kotorska. This part of archeology is almost unknown to archaeological science in Montenegro, and it is based on the experience of researching the Old Town of Bar in the period between 2004 and 2012, although it has been present in European archaeological science for decades. The Church of the Saint Michael on Prevlaka is a multi-layered building, which was systematically researched in 1956. and 1957, and in the period between 1997. and 2005., when it was completely excavated. It was built on the foundations of an early Byzantine church from the 6th century, and in the 9th or 10th century it was remodeled for the Benedictine monastery, which was demolished in the first half of the 11th century. Around 1220, the ruined remains of the basilica were rebuilt for the purpose of the bishopric of Zeta, which was enthroned on Prevlaka in this period. In the paper, we tried to show the methods of masonry of both eras, which especially refers to the altar area, which, according to new studies, was rebuilt on the foundations of an older basilica from the 9th/10th century. Also, primarily on the basis of comparing the vertical and horizontal stratigraphy, the genesis of the remodeling of its interior is followed, with all the main characteristics that allow us to understand how the architectural conception of the worship space changes, that is, how the church gets a new altar, dome, modified narthex, building from the north side etc.

ABSTRACT: At the site of Dubrava, there are remains of church architecture known as Ćaf Kiš. Around these remains is a vast necropolis, many still visible today. Protective archaeological research was carried out on a limited scale and showed that these are the remains of a church built at the beginning of the 16th century. Several explored graves testify that the church was built on an older necropolis. A cemetery was formed around the church, and after its demolition, numerous burials took place in it as well. On the remains of the architecture, we observed two basic building phases. First, a church was built with a deep apse, without a chancel. Shortly after construction, the northeast part of the church was demolished, and the apse fell to the northeast. It would be said that the collapse was caused by seismic action because no traces of ignition and destruction were observed. Soon, the church was restored, but now in a somewhat altered form, a new shallow apse was built, the nave was strengthened by constructing a buttress on the west side and the building was expanded by building the chancel. The architecture of the building, the church furniture and part of the movable archaeological material found unequivocally testify that the church ceremony took place according to the Latin custom. We determined the oldest archaeological layer to be in the 14^th century, the church was built in the 16^th century, and burials in and around it lasted until the middle of the 20^th century.

ABSTRACT: In mid-August 1912, there were armed conflicts between the cross-border Serbs and the Ottoman army, which committed serious crimes against the village of Donja Ržanica. In order to stop the Turks and restore the balance between the warring parties, Montenegrin units crossed the border and intervened in the events that followed. Nevertheless, thanks to the efforts of both Montenegrins and Ottomans, hostilities were stopped. An appropriate agreement was reached between the border commanders and Javad Pasha, but in practice, there was no serious progress in terms of its implementation. It remained for the beginning of the First Balkan War to decide the further fate of Lower Vasojevići, that was freed from Ottoman rule very soon after the start of hostilities.
