ABSTRACT: The paper deals with the relations between USA and Montenegro from their official diplomatic establishing, but mostly focuses on the period of the First World War. At its end, when the Great Powers have been deciding upon the future European political map, Montenegrin representatives have pursued an effort to influence an American position towards solving the Montenegrin questions according to interests of its Government in exile. This short-termed interest, which the USA has displayed for Montenegro, corresponded with the phase of greater attention that this Power has paid to the European affairs.

• Andrea CARTENY, After the Wilson’s 14 points: The oppressed nationalities at the Congress of Rome (April 1918), 123-133  Download

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”.

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.

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.
