Abstract

A brief but fierce conflict waged in 1301 between king Stefan Uroš II Milutin of Serbia and the maritime city of Dubrovnik ended in peace ne-gotiations that lasted over one year (August 1301–September 1302), involving also the Venetian Republic as Dubrovnik’s overlord. Well-covered by source ma-terial, this long and dynamic diplomatic process enables the study of various as-pects of diplomatic activity within the framework of both basic types of medieval political organization – the feudal monarchy and the republican city-state. Topics treated here include foreign policy decision-making, choice of envoys and organization of embassies, diplomatic gifts, negotiation procedures, use of mediation, trade embargoes and hostages, treaty documents, and diplomatic skill.
