ABSTRACT: After the Wilson points, in Italy too emerged in the public discourse the question to support or not the „oppressed nationalities” in Austria-Hungary. Luigi Albertini and the newspaper „Il Corriere della Sera” leaded this strategy, which meant to pass the positions of the London Pact and to prepare Italy to negotiate the Eastern claimed territories with new nations, as Yugoslavs. The Torre-Trumbic agreement was the important result of this action and political base for the Congress of Rome, in April 1918. This Congress was the beginning of the real support to the nationalities against Habsburgs. The propaganda over the enemy‘s trenches was fruitful: with more than 50 millions of posters and quite 10 millions of newspaper launched over the lines, Italian army called to a mass desertion the no German/Hungarian soldiers (then belonging to the „oppressed nationalities”, e.g. Yugoslavs, Romanians, Poles, Czechs, Slovaks).This factor was one of the most relevant for the final victory.

ABSTRACT: A gap in which the Muslim population was found in territories included in the composition of the Montenegrin state was even more profound, if we consider that this population followed specific achievements and a dynamic relationship of the Islamic tradition and regional influences. Most of it felt Montenegro their homeland as the Christian-Orthodox did, spoke the same language and had the same Slavic origin, but they were being recognized by different personal names, learning different literacy, growing with heroes of their own epic, and cultural and esthetic patterns finding in brilliant achievements of Islamic Orient.

ABSTRACT: In passed historical epoques, the Drobnjaks have been temporarily or permanently moving out from their homeland, searching for better living conditions. The list of Drobnjaks displaced before the 1878 is not possible to be individually reconstructed due to the lack of archival sources. An intensive migration of Montenegrins to USA began shortly before the end of XIX century. It is evident that the same process has included the Drobnjaks. The majority of immigrants have settled in the USA, while the others have chosen Canada and South America. They have been undertaking the worst jobs in the mines and partly been employed in factories. The smallest number ended in farms, mainly because of low wages.

ABSTRACT: Change of the constellation of powers on the world stage after the end of the Cold War, has resulted in important changes over Yugoslavia in global terms. Montenegro, as the smallest republic in the Yugoslav federation was bypassed by political upheavals in the atmosphere of disintegration of the communist system. United States, having remained as the only global superpower, used the political and war events in ex-Yugoslav region for implementation of policy of the “New World Order”.

• Radoslav RASPOPOVIĆ, Petar II Petrović Njegoš u diplomatskoj istoriji Crne Gore tridesetih godina XIX vijeka, 7-31  Download

ABSTRACT: The paper analyses foreign political activities of the Montenegrin metropolitan Peter II Petrović Njegoš in the 1930s, which bear the formal characteristics of diplomatic affairs. For this reason, the author believed them important for the study of diplomatic history of Montenegro, even though these were not typical diplomatic actions but rather international activities of a country which in fact exists but does not have the capacity of an international subject to speak of its diplomacy in the sense of international law. In order to explain the historical backdrop of the two Russian missions of Peter II, the author uses national archive sources from the Department of Archives of National Museum of Montenegro and National Archives of Montenegro along with the known literature, and he also relies to a great extent on the documents of the Foreign Affairs Archives of the Russian Empire. Thus, many details regarding both missions which have not been scientifically elaborated are explained, and can be useful to contemporary researchers in terms of the objectives and tasks of foreign political missions of Peter II.

• Dragana KUJOVIĆ, Smail-aga Čengić između dva epska portreta, 101-110  Download

ABSTRACT: Mažuranić’s epic poem The Death of Smail-aga Čengić described the death of mute sarrif of Gacko. The character of this Turkish hero took on epically hackneyed characteristics attributed to Turkish thugs in national poetry. The ruthless Turkish commander is contrasted with the oppressed Christian people, subject to all sorts of injustice and violence. There have been many at tempts at describing the Turkish dignitary Smail-aga Čengić, which are either epic or which surpass the epic frame, and they tend to place him in to an entirely different notion of reality, not without exaggeration which quite often unjustifiably coincides with a contrary cliché – a beautified and retouched image. By emphasizing the reputation of the mute sarrif, which he gained with courage, achievements and a dignified loyalty to Ottoman authorities, unlike inane, pathetic and hypocritical subjects, such image tells that reality painted a double picture in collective memory. However, the divided image is united by a historical con text, the same characters, events and details which enable an impartial research process, completely relieved of bias and attempts to humor the traditional, i.e. epic role division in to good and evil, “our” chivalry and “their” cowardice, which is usually blind and conventional.

• Anđelka BULATOVIĆ, Crnogorka u bratstveničko-plemenskoj društvenoj strukturi i organizaciji, 111-126  Download

ABSTRACT: The paper is an analysis of the position and upbringing of a Montenegrin woman in Montenegro clans and tribes. From the historical point of view, her role was tied to the family, which was also her most important personal and social function. Social value of women and their acceptance in the community (clan, tribe) they belong to, from birth until different years of age, was inextricably linked to the structure of family life. Household and raising children meant that a woman had to stay “tied” to the house all her life. Moreover, she participated in the course of her social life only in directly – through her father, brother, husband, son or other male relatives. The family was, therefore, her micro and macro world. Thus the position of a Montenegrin woman on the social ladder in the 19th century always depended on her dominant role in the vertical line of family relations and the social importance she would gain through affiliation with strong male figures: father, brother or husband. This resulted in the provisions of traditional law which preached inequality of sexes in the matters of heritage and property, of law, economy and other.

ABSTRACT: The basic aim of this work is to show the development of the political relations between the Kingdom of Serbia, and the Principality (and later Kingdom) of Montenegro during the reign of the two most rival-ling dynasties – Petrovic and Obrenovic, and the dynasty of Karadjordjevic after 1903, as seen through the eyes of British diplomats in Belgrade. In the period between 1878 and 1910 there were so many diplomatic reports which alluded to the poor relations between the two states, dynasties and crowns especially during the reign of King Milan Obrenovic of Serbia and Prince Nikola Petrovic of Montenegro. They hated each other. King Milan believed that Prince Nikola was a puppet in hands of Russia, and that his goal was to remove him from the Serbian throne and take his place. At the same time, Prince Nikola was frustrated because Milan Obrenovic declared Serbia a Kingdom. The relations improved somewhat during the reign of his son, King Alexander, but they grew even worse after 1903 than they had been before the Coup d’Etat in May.

• Živko M. ANDRIJAŠEVIĆ, Razvoj elektroprivrede u Crnoj Gori 1910-1945., 143-179  Download

ABSTRACT:at the beginning of the 20th century, electric power is introduced in Montenegro, but not for public use (street lights and houses), but rather for a specific purpose (of supplying machineries). The first one to use electric power to operate its equipment was the radio-telegraphic station in Volujica in 1904. Putting the Cetinje electric power plant, meant for public use, in to operation in 1910 was an important event because it meant that Montenegro had adopted an achievement of the developed world. Three years later, electric power plant in Bar was also put in to operation. Along with the two electric power plants (in Cetinje and Bar), electrification of other places on the territory of Montenegro was started in 1918. In 1941, the first hydroelectric power plant “Podgor” was put in to operation (near the village Podgor in Crmnica). The hydroelectric plant “Podgor” had the capacity of 300 kW, and its primary purpose was to generate electricity to operate pumps that delivered water to Cetinje. If we consider the first stage of development of the Montenegrin electric power industry, which lasted from 1910 until 1945, it becomes clear that a significant progress was made in this branch of economy, though the progress may seem modest compared to other parts of the Yugoslav state. The progress which was achieved may not have satisfied wishes and expectations but it corresponded to the current needs of Montenegro and the economic climate, which ultimately determined its size.

• Radenko ŠĆEKIĆ, Totalitarna propaganda fašizma i nacional-socijalizma, 181-194  Download

ABSTRACT: The term totalitarianism is relatively new, appearing in the books at the end of the period between wars, and it has particularly spread after World War II. Etymology defines totalitarianism as such political system in which state or a party leadership administers and controls the entire social life – economy, education, culture, science, philosophy, even relations within families and everyday communication between people – by means of coercion. Totalitarian regimes are those which delighted a part of Europe after World War I, and not only people but also the educated and upper classes of society, regardless of the simplicity, violence and irrational postulates of the ideas and positions of those ideologies. In that regard, propaganda is probably one of the most important instruments of totalitarianism, where it took on unforeseen proportions. Previous propaganda principles were elaborated, and practice yielded and perfected new and more efficient action techniques.

ABSTRACT: In the paper, written in Russian language, the author publishes a small portion of a rich correspondence of Valtazar Bogišić, PhD, a renowned Slavist and researcher of Slavic laws. The letters have never before been published. The fact that makes them particularly interesting is that in them Valtazar Bogišić asks from the Head of the Museum in Tver for books of proverbs along with ancient documents. He believes that those books could be used as an important starting point in studying Slavic legal customs. Bogišić believed that the common law of Slavic people was a segment necessary for studying and understanding it. For this reason, he conducted his famous polls but, as we can see, he also used all available sources for which he believed contained elements of common law of Slavic people.

ABSTRACT: The subject of this work is conservation of an amphora from the site of Doclea, located in the vicinity of Podgorica, Montenegro. The amphora was found during the excavation campaign which took place in 1958 – 1962, when about 300 tombs were unearthed and a large number of whole and fragmented amphorae were discovered. The amphora which is described in this paper was the only one found in the southeastern necropolis of Doc lea. This type of amphora is common in the 1st and early 2nd centuries AD. The amphora was found in a very fragmentary state and the absence of its large part, made the conservation very complicated. During the process of conservation all the steps of the conservation procedure were executed and recommendations were made for the further preservation of amphora in appropriate conditions in order to eliminate damaging influence of the outside factors.

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 second half of the 19th century is the most prolific period in the social development of Montenegro as an autonomous and independent state, particularly in terms of its social, political, educational and cultural development. Until the second half of the 19^th century, Montenegrin students were educated outside the borders of their homeland, primarily in the neighboring Serbia, distant Russia and other European countries of the time – Austria-Hungary, Ottoman Empire, France, Italy, etc. The analysis of the social background of 692 pupils/students of secondary and higher schools and academies-faculties in the period from 1848-1918 indicates that among them, there were sons of farmers, landowners, workers, merchants, innkeepers, artisans, officers, clan elders, clan captains, clan commanders, dukes, sirdars, brigadiers, seamen, clerks, judges, doctors, lawyers, priests, teachers and pensioners.

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: On the basis of preserved written and artistic sources, the stages of acceptance and development of the cult of the founder of the Second Franciscan religious order, St. Clare, in late medieval Kotor were discussed. Shortly after the arrival of the Franciscans in Kotor, the monastery of St. Clare was built, first near the city, and then inside the city walls in 1364. The veneration of St. Clare in Kotor received a special accent by including the performance of this saint within the painted decoration of the Cathedral of St. Tryphon.

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.

• Bojan NOVAKOVIĆ, Hum i Zahumljani u 33. glavi spisa De administrando imperio, 157-166  Download

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.

ABSTRACT: Determination of the borders of some state, especially in the process of growing of its subjectivity, belongs to the framework of very important issues connected with acquiring the attributes of the free member of international community. This paper deals with the earliest forms of mar king the borders of Montenegro’s territory during the reign of Petar II Petrović Njegoš, and the existence of Montenegro in factice, but not in formal sense of international law. That’s why there was used an opportunity to, besides emphasizing mentioned question, chronologically show the development of events in this area even in the later periods of hi story of Montenegro.
