That is the reason why it is neither for one-time use nor is it a result of day-to-day politics. It is rather an attempt to look into the contribuiton of Serbs to European civilization from various angles and through the achievements of several scientific disciplines. It was Radovan Samardiid, member of the Academy, who first initiated the idea of a symposium devoted to the subject contained in the book's title. During the 1989 Him- melsthtlr Symposium, at the seat of the Serbian Orthodox Eparchy for Western Europe, it was settled that the next conference should deal with such topic. The events in our country, however, made these plans impossible. Instead, in concert with City Library of Belgrade, our Institute brought forth a cycle of lectures under the same title which, slightly changed, make up contents of this book. These lectures were presented from January to April 1992, and, the reader may well see it, by the best scholars and greatest names of our science. Bringing them out in Serbian and English languages, the publish ers have had a wish to make precious evidence accessible to both domestic and foreign public. The Serbian contribution to European civilization having been rich and many-sided, could not be encompassed within one cycle of lectures alone. Thus, the Institute for Bal kan Studies and the City Library of Belgrade were compelled to select only one segment out of an ample scientific, cultural and political role that Serbs have played in the cre ation of European culture. It covers certain parts of history, history of arts, language and literature, philosophy, folk culture and law. Another cycle of lectures, planned by the two institutions, is to present the work of Serbian scientists for whose discoveries and insights the European and the world civilization is highly indebted. Among them are Ni kola Tesla and Mihailo Pupin, Mika Petrovid Alas and Milutin Milankovid, Jovan Cvijid, and many others. 7 The greatest space in the book, almost as an introduction, is dedicated to the histori cal position of the Serbian people within wider European framework: from the article of Radovan Samardiid, who follows a continuous rising of aristocratic vertical throughout Serbian history, and through the texts of MiloS Blagojevid, Dragoljub Dragojlovid, Slav- ko Gavrilovid, to Veselin Djuretid, who deals with the impact of 20th-century political ideologies upon the present conditions of Serbian ethnic entity. Two-way current of influence - from the Serbian art towards the European one, and vice versa - is featured by four leading historians of art. Vojislav J. Djurid and Vojislav Korad deal with Serbian mediaeval art and Europe, i.e. the relations between Byzantium and the West; Dinko Davidov depicts the revival of the Serbian 18th-century art, while Miodrag B. Protid enters upon the problems of our contemporary art through a dicho tomy of the ethic and aesthetic. Linguistic and literary questions in the book are treated by Irena Grickat-Radulovid, Miroslav Pantid and Predrag Palavestra. In respect to their importance each of these topics deserves a separate book. Finally, there are three texts covering the realms of philosophy (Andrija Stojkovid), folk culture (Dragoslav Antonijevid), and law (Djurica Krstid). They reveal a linkage of Serbian cultural and scientific heritage with the formation of European civilization and point to wide possibilities of further investigation. The book is here, in front of the reader, domestic and foreign. How it will be accept ed: whether with joy, inclination or suspicion, it is left to individual stand. The pleasure is of all those who have worked upon it, from authors, through the Institute for Balkan Studies and the City Library of Belgrade, to NOVA - the executive publisher and spon sor. 8 Radovan Samardzic ARISTOCRATIC VERTICAL IN SERBIAN HISTORY Instead of stating a claim, perhaphs this text should begin with a question: Are there collective illusions in a history of long standing which can, in turn, affect social be havior? Or, are such illusions, basically, the result of certain social preconditions? Perhaps it would be most appropriate to explain an ongoing phenomenon with the inter action of social institutions and social consciousness. This is the most difficult, but also the safest way to arrive at certain facts, even though it does not have to result in psycho logically the most subtle solutions. The Serbian legend has created a belief that the cream of the nobility, led by its mar tyr-prince, was wiped out in the Battle of Kosovo (1389). This belief, additionally, at ti mes edged over into a common conviction that Serbian chivalry, formed in the Nema- njid epoch, was wiped out completely in the battle. Even so, despite such prevailing con viction, the Serbs did not hesitate to determine their historical destiny by raising a verti cal in an unending effort of individuals and groups to achieve a noble position and pres tige. The deaths of the best continued to mark Serbian history, from time to time. This happened at times (not infrequent) when one conquerer or another discovered that it would be useful to deprive the Serbs of their leading men, or even destroy entire settlements. (These events did not anticipate genocide, they were genocide, carried out in conformity with the character and political beliefs of a certain period.) The nation's development was necessarily checked, particularly in the regions where such crimes were committed, where there was mass extermination or deprivation of leaders. Such shocks spread despondence afar, reverberating in circles. By defying it all, the Serbs did not allow themselves to fall rock bottom, instead they would raise their heads once more, and search the Balkans, the vast Pannonian plain and the ruined towns to find their roots again or at least a branch that would yield noble shoots, for themselves and their descen dants. There was barely an environment where the aristocratic vertical did not rise, again 9 Radovan SAMARDjid and again. This has lasted until recently, when the destiny of the Serbs fell into the hands of others. If the pre-Romantic and Romantic conviction that the spirit and character of Euro pean nations were instituted in the Middle Ages is at least partly true, then one must find in the Nemanjid epoch the roots of the Serbs' subsequent sense of aristocratic improve ment of the society and of its internal provisions underlying such endeavors. After wards, this occurrence may have been accommodated to new conditions and then reflected in the altered circumstances. In this lay its spiritual quintessence and internal strength. Legend says that the Serbs called down a curse upon the aristocracy for instigating the fall of the Nemanjid's empire with their mutual quarrels, but this shows exactly that they considered the state, which fell apart, to be their own with what was deepest in their collective being. May one presume that neither in latter-day history nor in the medieval times the Serbs experienced class indifference, even aversion towards their state, which was characteristic of Western nations (in the first place because the latter had the highest estates leading the state, mainly as its owners, representing its interests and ideology)? Like in the Biblical legends, the Nemanjid family, which issued forth rulers and leaders of the Serbian Church, was declared saintly while still alive and branching, and its cult remained in the foundations of Serbian Orthodoxy and a vital part of the histori cal heritage that subsequently determined the nation's destiny.

  • The Latins in Greece: a Brief Introduction
    chapter 1 The Latins in Greece: A Brief Introduction Nickiphoros I. Tsougarakis The Fourth Crusade and the sack of Constantinople by the crusaders cast a long shadow on Greece’s subsequent history and on relations between Greeks and western Europeans down to the present day. Pope John Paul ii’s apology to the Orthodox for the events of the crusade, in 2001, and the satisfaction with which it was received by certain sections of the clergy and of wider Greek soci- ety serves to illustrate, if not the actual impact of the events themselves, at least popular perceptions of the events in Greece and the West as well as the use made of these events in 20th-century historiography. Today, the relations of the medieval western world with the Greek/Byzantine East may be more relevant than ever. The Eurozone crisis of the early 2010s has been accompa- nied by the re-emergence in segments of the press and society (both Greek and western European) of negative national stereotypes emphasising the differ- ences between Greek and western-European culture and questioning whether a union between the two is viable or indeed desirable. The terms ‘Latin Greece’, which features in the title of this volume, and ‘medieval Greece’, which also features in the book, may require some explana- tion. Here, they are used as shorthand to refer to the Latin polities that were founded on Byzantine lands in the aftermath of the Fourth Crusade. They can be taken therefore as rough synonyms for the political entity known as the Latin Empire of Constantinople or Romania, as it was more commonly called by Latin contemporaries.

  • Illyrian-Albanian Continuity on the Areal of Kosova 29 Illyrian-Albanian Continuity on the Areal of Kosova
    Illyrian-Albanian Continuity on the Areal of Kosova 29 Illyrian-Albanian Continuity on the Areal of Kosova Jahja Drançolli* Abstract In the present study it is examined the issue of Illyrian- Albanian continuity in the areal of Kosova, a scientific problem, which, due to the reasons of daily policy, has extremely become exploited (harnessed) until the present days. The politicisation of the ancient history of Kosova begins with the Eastern Crisis, a time when the programmes of Great-Serb aggression for the Balkans started being drafted. These programmes, inspired by the extra-scientific history dressed in myths, legends and folk songs, expressed the Serb aspirations to look for their cradle in Kosova, Vojvodina. Croatia, Dalmatia, Bosnia and Hercegovina and Montenegro. Such programmes, based on the instrumentalized history, have always been strongly supported by the political circles on the occasion of great historical changes, that have overwhelmed the Balkans. Key Words: Dardania and Dardans in antiquity, Arbers and Kosova during the Middle Ages, geopolitical, ethnic, religious and cultural concepts, which are known in the sources of that time followed by a chronological development. The region of Kosova preserves archeological monuments from the beginnings of Neolith (6000-2600 B.C.). Since that time the first settlements were constructed, including Tjerrtorja (Prishtinë), Glladnica (Graçanicë), Rakoshi (Istog), Fafos and Lushta (Mitrovicë), Reshtan and Hisar (Suharekë), Runik (Skenderaj) etc. The region of Kosova has since the Bronze Age been inhabited by Dardan Illyrians; the territory of extension of this region was much larger than the present-day territory of Kosova. * Prof. Jahja Drançolli Ph.

A menționa și a cuprinde tot ceea ce face ca acest spațiu să fie unic, recognoscibil și specific, aproape că este imposibil.

Tocmai din această cauză, nici autorii prezentei cărți n-au fost pretențioși în intenția de a prezenta tot ceea ce Voivodina a fost și este.

Bibliography 273 Abstract The nation-state is now the dominant form of sovereign statehood, however, a century and a half ago the political map of Europe comprised only a handful of sovereign states, very few of them nations in the modern sense. Balkan historiography often tends to minimize the complexity of nation-building, either by referring to the national community as to a monolithic and homogenous unit, or simply by neglecting different social groups whose consciousness varied depending on region, gender and generation. Further, Bulgarian and Serbian historiography pay far more attention to the problem of "how" and "why" certain events have happened than to the emergence of national consciousness of the Balkan peoples as a complex and durable process of mental evolution. This dissertation on the concept of nationality in which most Bulgarians and Serbs were educated and socialized examines how the modern idea of nationhood was disseminated among the ordinary people and it presents the complicated process of national indoctrination carried out by various state institutions.

  • Serbian-Romanian Relations in the Middle Ages Until the Ottoman Conquest Connections, Influences, Cohabitation*
    Serbian-Romanian Relations in the Middle Ages until the Ottoman Conquest Connections, Influences, Cohabitation* Boris stojkovski , i vana ivanić , L aura spãriosu N THE Middle Ages the region of present-day Romania was in many ways tied to the region where Serbian people lived. It is not necessary to emphasize that until the modern age parts of present-day Serbia and Romania belonged to the same state, Iwhile in the Middle Ages they were parts of the Kingdom of Hungary and later, in various forms, part of the Habsburg Monarchy. Under the Nemanjić dynasty the con - tacts between Serbia and Wallachia were rare and occasional, but still interesting. Political and cultural relationships were present also during the time of the Serbian Despotate, as evidenced by Serbian medieval sources. After the collapse of the Serbian medieval Despotate, the connections between Romanian and the Serbian people of that time did not decrease; on the contrary, they reached their peak. After the migration of the Branković family of Serbian nobles, these ties became multiple, and the former Serbian despot Đorđe, who become monk Maksim, left a very strong mark upon Wallachian history, culture, and church. Serbs and Romanians lived together in Banat and other regions of medieval Hungary and modern-day Romania and Serbia since the 16 th cen - tury, and cohabitation is well documented in the historical sources. Bearing all that in mind, the aim of this paper is to present a short overview of the relations between the two countries (Romania and Serbia) in the Middle Ages until the Ottoman Conquest, highlighting the connections, influences and cohabitation between the two people.
