- Каталонци у пословима браће Кабужић (Caboga) 1426-1433
- This paper attempts to extend what was previously known about the business dealings of Catalans in Dubrovnik, based on the data previously ignored. These are trade records of the Caboga brothers (1426-1433) from the Dubrovnik Archive, the oldest preserved copy of double accounting in the area inhabited by South Slavs. From the trade records of the Caboga brothers, who dealt in precious metals from Serbia and Bosnia, we find out that Catalans from Dubrovnik, as well as the ones from Venice, played an important role in their business. Trade between the citizens of Dubrovnik and Catalans in Dubrovnik and Venice, including trade in precious metals from Serbia and Bosnia, was undoubtedly more developed than previously assumed. From the Caboga brothers trade records, we also find out about the financial transactions that took place in Venice, as well as about the names of the banks in Venice (in bancho di ser Goane Horsini; in bancho di Priuli), where the Dubrovnik and Venice Catalans had their business.

- Кнежевина/Краљевина Србија и питање уређења Ђердапа
- The question of the Iron Gates was an important part of the overall foreign policy of the Principality/Kingdom of Serbia in the second half of the 19th century. After the Paris Congress of 1856 expanded the provisions regarding the freedom of navigation on the Danube, this river gained an increasing importance. The dominant position on the Danube was occupied by the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, which – in order to make better use of the Danube waterway, aimed to get a mandate to arrange the Iron Gates at the London Conference in 1871. The Iron Gates was the hardest part of the Danube for navigation. Since the Principality of Serbia had an entire Danube bank, its voice had to be heard in terms of its arrangements. Serbian diplomacy and support of the High Porte spoiled the Austro-Hungarian plans. However, in the new circumstances at the Congress of Berlin, AustriaHungary was given a mandate for the execution of works at the Iron Gates. Serbia had to agree with that even in the Andrassy-Ristić text of the Convention. By the mandate given to it in 1878, Austria-Hungary implemented the works from 1890 to 1895. It built several channels, implemented hydraulic engineering projects and set up signal stations, which were to ensure greater bandwidth and safer navigation through the Iron Gates. The most important object of the regulation works was the Sip channel. The opening ceremony was attended by the rulers of the three coastal states in the Iron Gates. The Iron Gates set up in the late 19th century lasted until the construction of the hydropower and navigation system Iron Gates in the second half of the 20th century.

- Кнез и краљ Mилан у мемоаристици
- The paper arose from the need to emphasize the fact that the memoirs concerning the prince and king Milan is very rich and diverse, so that it deserves to be properly studied, and topics it covers more thoroughly covered and written about. The paper The Prince and King Milan in the Memoirs originated from, in author’s view, the most significant memoir treatises about this personality, and it could be seen as an outline for a wider and more general portrait of this our, from a scientific point of view, very interesting and controversial ruler. Based on this contribution, it can be noted that writers of the memoirs about the King Milan Obrenović IV, paid greater attention to his education, his way of ruling and behaving, his character traits, his virtues and flaws, than to any other 19th and 20th century Serbian ruler. The contribution also analyzes a number of topics and problems related to this ruler, beginning with his marital and family relations, his Austrophilia, as well as different changes, over time, in conducting interior and exterior policies, his relationship to Montenegro, political parties in Serbia, and numerous other issues.

- Конзулат Краљевине Србије у Битољу (1889-1897)
- This paper discusses activities of the General Consulate of Kingdom of Serbia in Bitola since its establishment until the Greek-Turkish War in 1897. The article resumes all activities of the Serbian Consulate on the territory of vilayet (region) of Bitola concerning political, educational, cultural and church work in the frame of strategy of strengthening of Serbian national work in this part of Macedonia. Activities of the Consulate in Bitola had been part of wider and more organized action taken by Serbia in order to strengthen national work in Old Serbia and Macedonia. This action started with establishment of the Saint Sava Society (1886) and Serbian consulates in Skopje and Thessaloniki (1887) and later in Pristine and Bitola (1889). The main creator of Serbian national and cultural strategy toward Old Serbia and Macedonia was famous historian Stojan Novaković, Serbian representative in Constantinople (1886-1891) at the time. First consul was Dimitrije Bodi and vice-consul Petar Manojlović. This paper treats the most important information taken from their field reports regarding the conditions in Bitola and its region, as well as activities of Bulgarian, Greek and Romanian propaganda, as well as regarding intentions of the Serbian diplomacy to establish Serbian parishes, schools and to open Serbian libraries in the vilayet of Bitola. Because of lack of Serbian church organization in Turkey (after the abolishment of the Patriarchy of Peć in 1766), the main help in this line of work had been expected from the Patriarchy of Constantinople, but this institution was not ready to make any concessions without previous agreement of the governments in Belgrade and Athens regarding the limits of the spheres of interest in Macedonia. Serbian national work in the field had faced better organized work of the rival Balkan states, as well as the resistance of the big powers, mainly Austro-Hungarian and British diplomacy. Nevertheless, the first years of work of the Consulate had created the conditions for further liver and more successful Serbian educational, cultural and church activities among Serbian and generally Macedonian Slav population.

- Которска породица Мекша у средњем веку
- Based on mostly published and unpublished sources from the Kotor and Dubrovnik archives, the paper presents a noble family through four generations in Medieval Kotor. Members of the Mekša family did business in Kotor, Dubrovnik, and Serbia. They formed mixed trading societies with people from Kotor, traders from Zeta seaside towns, people from Dubrovnik, Venetians, and Serbs. Some of them were successful merchants, acquired wealth and reputation, and performed important social functions in Kotor. A particular biographical note is about the family's most prominent member, Marin Mekša, who was not matched by his heirs. He was a great and capable merchant. He traded in metals, primarily silver, salt, textile, and other goods. Marin Mekša earned large capital, which he invested in other business and in real estate (houses and land) in Kotor, Serbia, and Dubrovnik. Due to his trading skills, Marin Mekša acquired great reputation, and performed important diplomatic missions for the Serb state and for his native Kotor. He was King Dušan's emissary in Venice in 1332, where he negotiated on settling Kotor excessive debts with Venice merchants, and about repaying these debts in time. When not busy with trade and diplomacy, he resided in Kotor, and performed important social duties in the native city. Marin Mekša frequently served as a judge and as an auditor in Kotor.

- Которски бискуп Марин Контарено и српска деспотовина
- Quando, allíinizio del 1429, morÏ il vescovo di Cattaro, Secundo Nani, il papa Martino V nominÚ al suo posto Marin Contareno. Era lí11 giugno dello stesso anno. Marin Contareno proveniva dalla famiglia Contarini, tra le pi ̆ famose famiglie veneziane. Alcuni membri di quella antica e potente famiglia gi‡ sostenevano un ruolo importante nel sistema di governo dellíAlbania veneziana tra il 1392 ed il 1479. Inizialmente il nuovo vescovo trovÚ delle difficolt‡ nella sua diocesi: la disciplina ecclesiastica era abbandonata e le condizioni economiche disagiate. PerciÚ il vescovo decise subito di migliorare le finanze della chiesa di Cattaro. S uggerÏ al Consiglio minore cattarense di creare una nuova legge per i rettori di tutte le chiese della citt‡ e del distretto, che cercÚ di catalogare tutti i beni mobili e immobili ecclesiastici. Il governo e il vescovo avevano intenzione di fare un ìcatasticum et inventarium generaleî. Marin Contareno si interessava anzitutto della Cattedrale di San Trifone dove si trovavano le reliquie del patrono di Ca ttaro, ma anche del monastero di San Giorgio, accanto al villaggio Perast, che era una antichissima abbazia benedettina. Alla met‡ degli anni trenta cercÚ di risolvere il conflitto tra il vescovado di Cattaro e líarcivescovado di Antivari (Bar), a proposito del diritto di giurisdizione sulle parr occhie cattoliche nello stato serbo. Un conflitto che esisteva da secoli. Una delle conclusioni dellíaccordo di Smederevo, siglato il 14 agosto 1435 tra la Repubblica di Venezia e il despota serbo Đ ura đ Brankovi ć , comportava líaiuto da parte del sovrano serbo al vescovo di Cattaro nelle sue intenzioni di rinnovare tutti i diritti sui cattolici nella Despotovina serba. Il 20 giugno 1435, il vescovo Contareno nominÚ Andrija Ke č evi ć , parroco di Janjevo, suo vicario generale in Serbia. Siccome Andrija Ke č evi ć rifiutÚ líincarico, nuovo vicario generale divenne Tanuö, in quel tempo rettore della chiesa di Santa Maria a Kokeranci. Líanno successivo il vescovo nominÚ il patrizio veneziano Antonio Memo suo procuratore in Despotovina. In fin dei conti Marin Contareno non era riuscito a realizzare la sua giurisdizione sulla Serbia, perchÈ la maggior parte dei ca ttolici da quelle parti erano ragusei. Vedevano Venezia come il peggiore nemico della loro patria, la Repubblica di Ragusa e non volevano sottoporsi ad un vescovo díorigine veneziana. Nel distretto di Cattaro vivevano molti contadini ortodossi, il cui stato economico e sociale sotto il governo venezia no era tra líaltro, legato alla difesa della loro fede. Marin Contareno inve ce, come esponente degli interessi veneziani, fece di tutto per convertirli, cercando di espellere i preti ortodossi , i quali avrebbero dovuto essere alternati con i pievani cattolici. Questi progetti erano sostenuti dal Senato veneziano e da l doge Francesco Foscari. Il vescovo di Cattaro trovÚ anche il tempo di dedicarsi ad impegni ecclesiastici pi ̆ generali. PartecipÚ al Concilio fioren tino nel 1439, come uno dei pi ̆ fedeli seguaci di papa Eugenio IV, che si contrapponevano ai sinodisti di Basel. Marin Contareno partecipÚ anche alle attivit‡ politiche del suo tempo. CosÏ, dopo la morte improvvisa del provveditore ven eziano di Cattaro Leonardo Bembo, lui fu viceprovveditore dal 29 marzo 1445 al 22 giugno 1446. In quei mesi Alfonso V, re del Regno napoletano, grande nemico della Repubblica di San Marco, avanzÚ delle pretese su quella parte della costa adriatica. Negli ultimi anni del suo episcopato Marin Contareno si occupÚ anche di affari diplomatici. Si fece mediatore tra i negoziati che Venezia intr aprese con la Comune di Cattaro e Stefanica Crnojevi ć , capitano della Zeta Superiore, nel 1448 e nel 1451. Dopo la sanguinosa fine della sommossa dei contadini di Grbalj, nel febbraio 1452, trenta ribelli furono ammazzati. Molti altri contadini che parteciparono a quella ribellione furono scacciati dal territor io sotto il governo veneziano e si rifugiarono in Puglia. Dopo quei fatti, la permanenza del ve scovo veneziano a Cattaro diventava ogni giorno pi ̆ insopportabile. Siccome Marin Contareno nel 1452. era a Vicenza, come vicario del cardinale e vescovo Pietro Bembo, il papa NicolÚ V decise di nominarlo vescovo di Treviso nel 1453. Marin Contareno fu un energico ed ambizioso vescovo cattolico, gi‡ ispirato al nuovo spirito rinascimentale, seguace fedele della politica papale, ma soprattutto patrizio veneziano ed esponente degli interessi della Serenissima in Zeta e Albania.

- Которски властелин Тома Павла Тома
- Squire Toma Pavla Toma was a member of the renowned Toma family from Kotor that was a branch of the Drago family. The Drago family, in turn, branched from the Basilli family that can be traced back to late 12th century. This paper grants Toma a justified biography portraying his life and work, that is his political and business activity. Like his father, he continued to perform all important missions for the Serbian king and state. His political and business activities can be traced as of 1312, when there is first mention of him in the Archives of Dubrovnik, until his death in 1330. His business activities were related to Dubrovnik, Kotor and Serbia. Toma set up joint-stock trading companies with people in Kotor, Dubrovnik, Venice and Serbia. He was a warrantor, creditor, representative and debtor. Little is known about his life in Kotor, as the sources dating from before 1326 have not been preserved. The Archives of Kotor trace Toma’s life and work only from 1326 to 1330, the last four years of his life. However, Toma’s last will speaks much more about his life and work in Kotor, Serbia and Dubrovnik. Even when he was only a visitor to Kotor, living in Dubrovnik and Serbia, Toma maintained connections with business people from his hometown. How significant was Toma Pavla Toma both for the Serbian Court and the town of Kotor was recorded in an article of the Statute of Kotor (426). His last will also gives a picture of almost the entire social and economic situation in Kotor of the first decades of the 14th century. In the third decade of the 14th century, Toma’s business and social activities in Serbia became more prominent. He lived in Serbia at that time, there is record of his presence in the town of Prizren where he owned a house and traded. He was the King's envoy in Dubrovnik and a person of trust who collected St. Dimitar's tax in this town. He also performed other tasks for the Serbian king and state, such as procuring of arms and horses, war being imminent in Serbia. Toma knew how to make good business deals for the ruler. In July 1329, he signed a contract on the lease of all Serbian customs offices on behalf of the Serbian king with three respected and rich merchants from the ranks of Dubrovnik aristocracy. Being close to the Court, he had business relations with well-known persons and merchants from Serbia. He worked with dukes – Duke Mladen, the progenitor of the Brankovic tree and Duke Vukoslav. How devoted was Toma Pavla Toma to the Serbian king and Serbia is shown by the fact that he spent his last days in Serbia, where on his death-bed in the ruler’s castle of Štimlje in Kosovo, he made his last will. Toma dealt with the Venetian merchants who lived in Kotor, Dubrovnik and Serbia in the 20s of the 14th century - Marco Ruggini, Pierangelo Polani, Bartolomeo Bolani, Francesco il Farmacista and others. Toma Pavla Toma was a merchant of great stature and prominence. He traded with the West and East, that is Venice, Apulia and Thessaloniki. He traded in metals (silver and lead), fabric, salt, wheat, wax, arms, horses etc. He acquired enormous capital, which he invested both in movable and real property in Kotor, Serbia and Dubrovnik. Toma’s long, successful and versatile business activities lasted until early 1330 when he died, probably in Serbia.

- Крагујевац у другој половини 19. века у светлу статистике
- Kragujevac was one of the largest Serbia's cities in the second half of the 19 century. Its population increased faster than average, while existing male-female ratio indicated larger scale immigration. Literacy among people of Kragujevac was higher than average, but turned over 50 % only at the end of the century. Crafts, self employment and public services were most common occupations. Prices of basic agricultural products in Kragujevac were quite similar with average prices on the state level. More live stock was sold on fairs held in Kragujevac than on one average fair in Serbia. However, it is uncertain to what extent these fairs effected the people of Kragujevac.

- Кратак поглед на историју Цигана у бугарским земљама до краја Првог светског рата
- Nowadays, the second-largest ethnic minority in Bulgaria – Gypsies are increasingly attracting the attention of the government and society. However, in the early years after the restoration of the Bulgarian state (1878), Gypsies are only a part of the diverse ethnic picture of the country; they do not play any significant role in political and public life, nor do they attract much attention. Although differences among themselves on the basis of religion, crafts and language are present, social development of different Gypsy groups during this historical period is identical. That is why they are recognized and treated by the other ethnical groups as a unified population. However, the approach towards Muslim Gypsies in the country has its nuances. Considerations of the Bulgarian society and government with their baptizing and the withdrawal of their voting rights in the late Nineteenth and early Twentieth century are in large part burdened with historical heritage, but to some extent they are based upon practical means. These events mark the very beginning of the special policies towards Muslim Gypsies, conducted during different historical periods, which later (after 1944) reflects upon the entire Gypsy minority in the country, regardless of their religion. In the timeframe dealt in this article, these processes are still ripening. Traditional ethnic tolerance towards the minority is manifested and it gets special attention only in the context of the political elections and trade of Gypsy electoral votes.

- Краљ Жигмунд у Борчи, или када је и како Београд предат Угрима 1427. године?
- This paper analyzes up-to-date knowledge of the circumstances and chronology of Belgrade’s delivery to King Sigismund following the death of Despot Stefan Lazarević in 1427. According to previously unnoticed diplomatic sources, it is determined that Belgrade was handed over to the Hungarian king at the end of September or beginning of October, one month earlier than it was previously believed. Corrections in the chronology of handing over of Belgrade were analyzed in the light of those difficult circumstances caused by the Ottoman invasion of Serbia, which started in February of thе same year. In that situation, expecting the Hungarian military aid, the new Serbian ruler Đurađ Branković was unable to delay the delivery of the capital. In doing so, he fulfilled the duty that Despot Stefan took upon himself when he made the agreement with King Sigismund in Tata in 1426. While waiting to take Belgrade over from Đurađ Branković, King Sigismund camped in Borča (Barcha) during the second half of September 1427. This is the oldest known information, so far, about this settlement on the left side of the Danube, now part of Belgrade.
