- Constantine Porphyrogenitus' Kastra Oikoumena in the Southern Slavs Principalities
- The term kastra oikoumena, by which Constantine Porphyrogenitus designated the cities in Southern Slavs principalities, was usually understood as the inhabited cities. Since this term is going alongside the term baptized Serbia/Croatia, it appears that this term is releated to the ecclesiastical terminology, and therefore, most probably has another meaning.

- Contribution of Italian Nurses during the First World War
- During the First World War hospitals in the rear and elsewhere were receiving nurses committed to providing assistance and relief to wounded soldiers and veterans who survived terrible moments in trenches. According to some calculations, in 1917 there were around ten thousand volunteers of the Red Cross, to whom we must add many belonging to other associations. During the First World War more than 7,000 volunteer nurses were present in 204 field hospitals of the Red Cross, managing a total of 30,000 beds. Despite early difficulties of being included in the field, the military, predominantly male volunteer nurses in the thirties were in Ethiopia, Somalia, Abyssinia, Libya and Eritrea, as well as during the Spanish Civil War. Later the role of aid in all the theatres of World War II was crucial, especially on hospital ships (among which we can mention the steamers Tuscany and Aquileia). Eighteen Red Cross nurses lost their lives in armed conflict, including two in a concentration camp and two shot by the Wehrmacht.

- Engleska javnost o ustanku u Makedoniji 1903. Godine
- The outbreak of the so-called Ilinden Uprising drew attention of the European public. However, the revolt of the Christians of this province seem to have had the biggest impact on the public opinion and officials in Great Britain. The uprising was especially popular with the press, which loudly condemned brutal acts of the Turkish army and irregular forces, and showed great sympathies towards the rebels and the oppressed population. Numerous well known Englishmen published their opinions and columns in favor of the Christian population. One of the most agile ones was the journalist Noel Buxton. The most influential newspapers sent their special and war reporters to the scene of the conflict. All of them sent dramatic reports on horrible crimes and repression, which additionally homogenized the public opinion in favor of the rebellion. Well respected scientists and travelers also traveled in these months to the rebel area, and they also left precious information about the extent of the uprising, casualties, and destruction.

- GABRIEL OF ZVORNIK
- Тhe paper deals with the biography of the Metropolitan of Zvornik Gabriel. The place and year of his birth have been determined, as well as the fact that he was a Bulgarian by ethnicity. The information about the likely social stratum that he originated from is given. The possibilities that he had at his disposal in gaining systemic theological education – from Bulgarian-Hellenic schools in the area of his origin to the theological schools of the Great Church – have been highlighted. The time of his arrival at the head of the Zvornik Metropolitanate and the period of his administration have been established. The reasons for his difficult position at the time of the First (1804–1813) and the Second Serbian Uprising (1815), the outbreak of the Greek Uprising (1821), and the rebellion of Husein Gradaščević in the Bosnian Pashalik (1831–1832) have been explained. Also underscored is his versatile activity in restoring church life and supporting education in the Serbian language. Metropolitan Gabriel enjoyed great reputation among the faithful. His authority was significant as he devotedly performed his spiritual mission. He died in 1837 and was buried in the Holy Trinity monastery (Tavna) in the Zvornik Metropolitanate.

- Icons from the Museum of Macedonia with Ottoman Prayer Inscriptions
- The paper presents inscriptions incised in Arabic script on three Despotic icons from the collection of the Museum of Macedonia that originate from Marco’s monastery in vicinity of Skopje and from the church of St. Archangel Michael from the village Oreovec near Makedonski Brod. With the analysis and interpretation of these works interesting topics are revealed mainly from the aspect of the existence of religious syncretism during the Ottoman period. Although the existence of this type of graffiti is known in science there is no serious research, and the aim of this the paper first of all is to increase the initiative of sharing such data.

- MAIZE CULTIVATION IN SERBIA
- The paper discusses the adoption and spread of maize cultivation in the territory of present-day Serbia. A hundred years had passed from the first mention of maize growing to the moment when maize became the second most important cereal grain, and in some parts of the country the most important. The adoption of maize production was profound and lasting. It changed the basic nutrition of the majority of the population. By the end of the 19th century, maize fields represented 31 percent of cultivated land in Serbia. Increased production of maize resulted in surpluses and export.

- MODES OF RELIGIOUS SELF-REPRESENTATION ON THE EXAMPLE OF GOTTSCHALK OF ORBAIS
- Gottschalk of Orbais (ca. 804–868) was condemned for heresy by the Synods of Mainz and Quirzey (in 848 and 849) due to his doctrine of double predestination, and spent the last twenty years of his life in confinement in Hautvillers. Throughout Gottschalk’s last years, and perhaps due to the severe punishment he had suffered, another facette of this monachus gyrovagus surfaced. The image of a rebellious figure, somewhat subversive in his heretical self-defence, resorting to subterfuge, and endowed with protruding features, announcing the penchant to martyrium, prophecy and some uncommon strategies of religious self-representation for the Carolingian era, came to light.

- Monument to King Aleksandar Karađorđević in Ljubljana
- The unveiling of the equestrian monument to King Aleksandar Karađorđević in Ljubljana on 6 September 1940, a work of Lojze Dolinar, on the eve of the Second World War, was a result of political and social circumstances of the fourth decade of the 20th century that shook the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. The culmination of the process of Yugoslavization of Ljubljana started after World War I with the formation of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, and was manifested in the unveiling of a monument to King Aleksandar Karađorđević. Old memorial topoi from the time of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy were replaced by new, symbolic emblems visualizing political and cultural practices of the Yugoslav authorities. The shaping process of visual memory of members of the house of Karađorđević was particularly pronounced since 1929 when the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes was officially renamed into the Kingdom of Yugoslavia by means of a constitutional reform. At that time, a separate entity was formed, named Drava Banovina (Province) with its center in Ljubljana, turning the city into an open-space urban pantheon celebrating the new Yugoslav nation and the ruling dynasty in accordance with the ideology of Yugoslavism.

- Mанастир Илиње код Овчар Бање рановизантијско и средњовековно утврђење
- The monasteries of the Ovčarsko-Kablarska Gorge represent a complex of great cultural importance. The natural surroundings of the gorge, with its steep rocky sides and secluded nooks provided a convenient setting for the building of nine monasteries, two chapels and a church dedicated to St Elias which is wrongly called monastery because the original plan was to build a monastery after the completion of the church. «Monastery» Ilinje, is situated above Monastery of the Annunciation, at a distance of about fifteen minutes' walk, and it belongs to that monastery. The church dedicated to St Elias is a small, unprepossessing single-nave building with a semicircular apse and a gable roof, built in 1939. The stone built into the church was partly found on the site. It is certain that the lime used for its construction was also made from the pieces of fallen limestone rock found on the spot and, possibly, also from the stone quarried from the remains of defence walls and fortified structures. Protective archaeological explorations were carried out in August 2005. They revealed a dry wall 2.5 metres long, which formed a part of an early Byzantine structure. It lay about thirty metres west of the church, next to the west profile of the exploration trench 1. The remains of a plastered floor, a hearth, and traces of mortar which supply some evidence of how the walls were constructed, show that the structure was used in the mediaeval times as well. A kiln for calcining lime dating from the time of the building of the church was found on the east side of the exploration trench. After a survey of the terrain and the «tracing» of walls, the outline of the fortress was partly defined, particularly in its northern and eastern parts. These works revealed the remains of a tower in the immediate vicinity of the church. The discovered material has been divided into early Byzantine and mediaeval. The early Byzantine ware is rather scarce and belongs to the already known 6th and early 7th century forms. At the beginning of the 10th century the dominant locations along the rim of the Čačak basin were settled, or rather reoccupied. This process lasted until the beginning of the 13th century, as the pottery material from Ilinje shows. The early Byzantine fortress was also revitalized in that period. The find of a pottery whorl shows that it was not a purely military fortification, and one find seems to support the hypothesis of the existence of a late mediaeval watch-tower. A spur found in a layer of humus has details – a star with arched arms – characteristic of spurs dating from the late 14th and the 15th centuries. It represents an isolated find, for there are no culture layers or other finds from this period. If the existence of a late mediaeval layer here were proven, that would confirm the hypothesis that two towers (it is established that the layer containing the remains of a tower near the monastery of the Dormition of the Virgin dates from the 14th-15th centuries) guarded the entrance to the gorge and the mediaeval monasteries.

- Mостарска црквено-школска општина и промене на херцеговачком митрополијском трону (1888–1889)
- The Serbian Orthodox Church-School Municipality in Mostar, as one of the most reputable and financially the most stable, was established at the time of the Ottoman rule in 1835 and abolished by virtue of the decision of the Austro-Hungarian occupation authorities in 1882. The motive for the abolishment were the accusations that it was the initiator of the 1881 riot of limited scope, launched over the Military Law which envisaged the recruitment of a contingent from Herzegovina to the Austro-Hungarian army. The Municipality was restored in 1888, based on the compromise with state authorities, when its autonomy was significantly diminished. Its erstwhile rights to represent all church-school municipalities in Herzegovina and elect priests in Mostar were abolished and transferred to the Herzegovina-Zahumlje Metropolitan. At the time of the first convocation of the renewed Church-School Municipality in Mostar in 1888–1891, even three metropolitans changed on the Herzegovina-Zahumlje throne. Metropolitan Ignjatije Ikonomidis, a Greek who maintained good cooperation with the Municipality, protesting together with it over the conclusion of the unfavourable Convention between the Ecumenical Patriarchate and AustriaHungary, was pensioned in1888. In the same year, the authorities nominated archimandrite Leontije Radulović, who was then ordained and assumed the throne, but died only six months later from tuberculosis. In 1889, he was succeeded by archimandrite Serafim Perović, who served until his death in 1903. In its session minutes, the restored Church-School Municipality did not record data on Metropolitan Ignjatije Ikonomidis, but described in detail his relationship with his successors – Leontije Radulović and Serafim Perović. It assumed the central role in the organisation of ceremonies relating to their ordainment and enthronement, and established with them good cooperation, despite disagreements concerning jurisdiction, particularly in the case of Serafim Perović. The Municipality also organised the erection of the monument to Metropolitan Leontije Radulović in the new Cathedral Church. In the years just after its restoration, the Church-School Municipality of Mostar quickly adjusted to changes on the Herzegovina-Zahumlje Metropolitan throne, and fostered good communication with the three Metropolitans who succeeded one another at the time.
