Povodom šezdeset godina od osnivanja Pokreta nesvrstanih,
ABSTRACT: On the base of documents from Yugoslav archives, mostly Archive of Yugoslavia and Diplomatic archive of the Ministry of foreign affairs of Serbia, the article covers the activities of Yugoslav officials to prepare, organize and successfully direct the planned conference of Non-Aligned countries, held in September of 1961 in Belgrade. These activities covered the wide range, from the communication of diplomatic representatives with officials in their host countries, to intensive intelligence work aimed at collecting relevant data on delegates to the conference, their political attitudes and positions, all in order of gaining the control over the event‘s flow and results. The acquired data enabled Yugoslav leadership, especially Josip Broz Tito, to mitigate the tensions and forge the needed compromises among the participants, needed for the overall success of the conference.

ABSTRACT: According to Lysias’ oration 31 the paper deals with the relationship citizens – noncitizens, i.e. metics, and their rights, exploring this relationship with regard to moral values. It also deals with the institutional procedure of dokimasia which was established after the restoration of democracy in Athens in 403 BC in order to prevent the immoral and inappropriate citizens from running a campaign and from being elected public officials. The paper is accompanied by the first translation of this Lysias’ oration into Serbian.
ABSTRACT: The paper examines the presence of slaves from the Adriatic regions in the Classical Greece, as a contribution to the ongoing debate about the prevalence and general importance of Illyrian piracy in the pre-Hellenistic times. Traditional historiography maintains that there was widespread, indeed “endemic” Illyrian piracy centuries prior to the recorded activities of Illyrian pirates under king Agron in the second half of the 3rd century BC. If this was really the case, we would expect that it had a significant impact on the supply of slaves in Classical times. However, the examination of available sources (Old Attic comedy, prose literature, slave records from the Laurion mines, the Attic stelai, the slave lists from Chios, Athenian naval catalogues etc.) shows their presence to be minimal. Some slaves from Illyria are mentioned in the Attic stelai but hardly anywhere else, their numbers being dwarfed by the multitudes of Anatolian and Thracian slaves. Extant sources imply that there was no large scale export of slaves from Illyria in the Classical times and, likewise, that the scale of Illyrian piracy was fairly modest.
ABSTRACT: The paper is dedicated to the influence of Crnojević‘s printing on the Belgrade Four Gospels from 1552. The works printed in Cetinje served as a model for later, not only Serbian, but also Romanian printing houses. We see the repetition of Cetinje motifs in Cyrillic editions in Goražde, Rujno, Gračanica, Mileseva, Belgrade and Mrkšina Crkva, as well as Trgovište in Wallachia. If it existed, the Crnojević Four Gospels could serve as a template for the creation of the Vlach Four Gospels, which would mean that it became a model for all later four Gospels, the Rujan, Belgrade and Mrkšina Crkva.
ABSTRACT: Relying on the previously unused archival document in the literature, the paper points out new facts and different angles of view, regarding the arrival of the artist I.Žmirić with his artwork on Cetinje in 1881.
ABSTRACT: The Balkan states saw the Eastern Question as a creation of favourable opportunities for attaining positions in the European parts of Turkey, and even their potential redistribution. Montenegro also had its own aspirations, but it had to sense the mood and take position of the Great Powers. A new crisis was foreshadowed when the riots of the Greek population in Crete broke out in 1896. Open conflict between Greece and Turkey brought the issue of European Turkey back into the focus of the diplomacy of the Great Powers, but also of the Balkan states. Austria-Hungary and Russia agreed on maintaining peace and preserving the status quo in the Balkans, which greatly affected not only them but the Balkan states as well. This paper looks into the diplomatic activities of Montenegro and its international positions at the end of the XIX century.
ABSTRACT: Today‘s Slovenia was occupied by four countries during the Second World War – Germany, Italy, Hungary and Croatia. The demarcation between them was mainly based on Hitler‘s instructions on the dismemberment of Yugoslavia. The borders were secured with minefields, wire fences and bunkers. The new borders changed the traditional patterns of life in these areas and cut into the daily life and habits of the local population. With this work, we show how the borders were politically and diplomatically determined, where over 660 kilometers of occupation borders passed, how they were secured and how life went along with them.
ABSTRACT: On the basis of unpublished sources from the archives of the communist parties of Yugoslavia and Italy (Arhiv Jugoslavije, Belgrade; Archivio del Partito comunista italiano, Rome), this article analyzes the relations between these two parties during the early sixties. In a few very significant and crucial years for their interparty relations, the League of Communists of Yugoslavia (LCY) and the Italian Communist Party (PCI) managed to reestablish their relations, and to elevate them to a level of a strategic alliance. The aim of this article is to analyze that process, which was the foundation of a closer friendship and alliance of the LCY and PCI in the following decades.
ABSTRACT: The main goal of this paper is to answer the following research question: How did the Libyan military react to the protest against the regime of Muammar al Gaddafi, i.e. what factors determined its role in the transition, how did that role influence the course of transition and the possibility of establishing civilian control over military in the new regime? Accordingly, the paper covers description and explanation of political, historical and cultural identity of Libya, the basic features of Gaddafi’s rule, as well as the position of the military in its regime. Finally, there is given analysis of the influence of the military division into the pro-regime and anti-regime forces during the uprising, on the results of the transition. Post-spring Libya lost the elements of statehood i.e. monopoly over coercive force. Libya is ruled by “militias” that fighting for control over oil resources. Available data were analyzed, classified and systematized using the historiographical method, as well as method of case analysis and method of analysis of available literature and documentation.

ABSTRACT: The Cold War refers to the period of development of international relations after the Second World War, which was characterized by ideological, political, military and overall bloc bipolarization and confrontation between the great powers of the West, ie the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) founded in 1949 and the Warsaw Pact established by the USSR in 1955. The epithet „cold” was given to this war because its actors sought to achieve their goals of supremacy and domination in international relations by avoiding direct armed conflict through the bloc and interest division of the world. After the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact, NATO continued to dominate unhindered globally. The new millennium has brought an era of multipolarity and the economic and political influence of the West is declining.

ABSTRACT: The paper examines the socio-economic position and the everyday reality of the life of slaves in Lydia and Phrygia, two regions of considerable size within the boundaries of the Roman province of Asia, during the first three centuries of our era. The sources available for the study of slavery in Roman Anatolia are mainly epigraphic monuments, though some ancient writers and anepigraphic archaeological finds offer significant insights as well. The impression gained by the study of this material suggests that slavery was widespread and that it permeated both private life and public institutions, though exact numbers of slaves and their economic significance is difficult to determine.

ABSTRACT: This paper is based on historical data and Russian press materials for the period from 1914 to 1916 and tells about activities of Green Cross, one of philanthropic organization under protection of the grand duchess Militsa Nikolaevna. Green Cross was established in the first days of the war, opened its divisions in many towns of Russia and provided assistance to Russian, Montenegrin and Serbian soldiers and members of their families. Unique feature of this philanthropic organization consisted in its financial independence of government grants and the amount of collected funds was illustrative of its popularity among people. Such activity went up against other committees under august protection. Activity of green Cross was terminated in December 1916 by decision of the Council of Ministers.
ABSTRACT: Presented paper focuses on the activities of Montenegrin emigration in the USA in the years following the end of First World War. New political solutions, disappearance of Montenegro and creation of new Yugoslav State, provoked activities of some Montenegrins in order to promote an idea of restoration of the independent Montenegro. Activities, ideas, impact, reaction of Yugoslav State and its representatives in America as well as results and outcomes are the object of analyses.
ABSTRACT: On the base of reports by the relevant body of the OSCE Mission in then Serbia and Montenegro, the paper deals with the topic of perception of Montenegrin police forces and their reformation by the OSCE experts assigned for this area. The article covers the period on the verge of centuries, when Montenegro acquired the new political course towards closer bonding with the West. Finally resulting in changing the status of its statehood, social and political processes of this time were directed and conducted by governmental authorities who dominantly relied upon the use of police forces and the control over them. In this sense, perception of the such police in the eyes of representatives of international community, among which the OSCE’s ones had the most direct contact, brings an insight into the contemporary conditions, problems, perspectives and possibilities of reform within the one of the most important tools the Montenegrin government had at its disposal.
ABSTRACT: Montenegro’s political transformation from communism to liberal democracy was marked by remarkable political and social developments all of which severely damaged democratic consolidation and political transformation. Instead of following the pattern of other Central/ Eastern European states, Montenegro was deadlocked with an unresolved national question and fragile democratic framework; prolongation of fundamental emancipation of society and state. The article examines major political developments starting the dissolution of Yugoslavia and the introduction of pluralism, and their implications on political and societal transformations in Montenegro.
ABSTRACT: This work is motivated by the desire and need to present to the academic public and the wider readership an illustration of lesser-known tadhkirah (Ottoman tezkire) that have been neglected in our historiography. Teskere of Ottoman provenance stored in the Archives of the Historical Institute of Montenegro are an important source of knowledge when it comes to studying the history of Montenegro. These dated documents from the second half of the 18th century, which we publish here, testify to the manner of appointing the village prince and the collection of taxes during the Ottoman rule. In fact, they are important for the local history of Crmnička nahiyah, because they provide us with reliable information on the manner of official communication between the local population and the competent Ottoman authorities.
ABSTRACT: The paper contains transcripts of some medieval documents from the manuscript collection “Memorie sulle Bocche di Cattaro concernenti il Culto”, whose parchment templates were in the possession of the Kotor canon Vicko Antun Paskvali during the 18th century. The documents refer to the churches of Kotor: St. Nicholas of the Gardens (1289), St. Lorenzo of Plata (1324, 1347, 1348), St. Luka’s (1270), St. Basileus on Šuranj (1309), St. Maria of Gurdići (1318), and St. Jacob of Loggia (1388). Most of the documents relate to the election of abbots, founding, and patronage over churches, one refers to the leasing of church property. Some of these documents have been scarcely known so far.
