The study focuses on the articles about the annexation of Bosna and Herzegovina, in ‘Carigradski glasnik’ (Constantinople gazette). With the aim to work on the awakening of the national consciousness among Serbian people all over the world, Constantinople gazette during the period of annexation crises, through more than five months dedicated a great number of articles to this problem. The corpus of the articles related with this topic consist of more than hundred references, testifying about enormous efforts of the editors to informed Serbian people about the political circumstances, both on the national and international filed, especially reporting about activities of The Serbian Government and Parliament, prominent persons as well as common Serbian people in different countries, and places. Although being far from the center of the events in some way Constantinople gazette is nowadays the first class historical source about abovementioned dramatic period and situation. These articles are not only presentation of events and facts, but moreover alive testimony about Serbian collective attitude and feelings toward annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the precious testimony of past that has not yet been recognized in the full measure. Having in mind this fact in particular, we decided to study and present this extremely important and interesting part of Constantinople gazette.
