The development of urban settings in the interior of the Serbian lands, cor- roborated later by the examples of Belgrade and Smederevo, starts and is best viewed precisely in the example of this town. Novo Brdo constitutes a striking testimony and a symbol of the economic prosperity of medieval Serbia, its complex social structure and openness towards the European influences. The rich mines that pro- vided the finest silver, very much valued in the then world, ensured not only the prosperity of the town, but also brought in significant revenues to the ruler. During the turbulent times of the Ottoman conquests, it was precisely on the Novo Brdo silver that the survival of the state rested to a significant degree. The riches of Novo Brdo, that was well-known far and wide, made a powerful impression on its con- temporaries. For Constantine of Kostenets, biographer of Despot Stefan (Lazarevi}), Novo Brdo was “the town of silver and indeed of gold.”1 The same impression of the town was experienced a few decades later by Constantine of Ostrovica who called it “the mountain of silver and gold.”2 Admiration for the wealth of Novo Brdo was also expressed by the Byzantine chronicler Doukas, calling it “the mother of all towns,” while his contemporary Critobulus, also a Greek, particularly emphasized the riches of Novo Brdo consisting of silver and gold.3 The French traveller from Burgundy, Ber- trandon de la Broquiere, who passed through Serbia in 1433, also recorded a tes- timony saying “the despot has a town called Novo Brdo … (where) there is a joint mine of gold and silver and every year more than 200,000 ducats are mined, and if it had- n’t been for that I believe he would have already been exiled from his Serbia.”4 Disproportionally to the importance which Novo Brdo used to have in the past, the life of that medieval town, observed as a whole, has remained insufficiently known and only partially studied. The preserved original historic materials, which are almost solely limited to the documents from the coastal archives, in Ragusa (Dubrovnik) (present-day Croatia – TN) and Kotor (present-day Montenegro – TN), primarily shed the light on the activities of the residents of Novo Brdo, most often foreigners, origi- nating from these towns. There are significantly fewer data, and those are mostly indirect, about the local Serbian population that constituted the majority population of Novo Brdo. With an exception of the famous Zakon o rudnicima despota Stefana 1 @itije despota Stefana 1989, 98. (Law on the Mines of Despot Stefan – TN) which also contains a part of the town’s 5 2 Konstantin iz Ostrovice 1986, 121. statute of Novo Brdo, there are almost no preserved Serbian original materials on 3 Jire~ek, Radoni} 1978, 406. this town.

Razvoj urbanih sredi{ta u unutra{wosti srpskih zemaqa, kasnije po- svedo~en primerima Beograda i Smedereva, zapo~iwe i najboqe se sagledava upravo na primeru ovog grada. Novo Brdo upe~atqivo je svedo~anstvo i simbol ekonomskog prosperiteta sredwovekovne Srbije, wene slo`ene dru{tvene struk- ture i otvorenosti prema evropskim uticajima. Bogati rudnici, iz kojih se dobijalo najfinije srebro, veoma ceweno u tada{wem svetu, obezbe|ivali su ne samo napredak grada ve} su donosili i zna~ajne prihode vladaru. U nemirnim vremenima turskih osvajawa na novobrdskom srebru je u dobroj meri po~ivao i opstanak dr`ave. Bogatstvo Novog Brda, koje je bilo nadaleko poznato, ostavqa- lo je sna`an utisak na savremenike. Za Konstantina Filozofa, biografa despo- ta Stefana, Novo Brdo je bilo „grad srebreni i u istinu zlatni“.1 Isti do`i- vqaj grada imao je i nekoliko decenija kasnije Konstantin iz Ostrovice, koji ga naziva „gora srebrena i zlatna“.2 Divqewe bogatstvu Novog Brda iskazuje i vizantijski hroni~ar Duka, nazivaju}i ga „majkom gradova“, a wegov savreme- nik Kritovul, tako|e Grk, posebno isti~e bogatstvo Novog Brda u srebru i zla- tu.3 Francuski putnik iz Burgundije, Bertrandon de la Brokijer (Bertrandon de la Broquiere), koji je kroz Srbiju pro{ao 1433. godine, tako|e je zabele`io kazivawe kako „despot ima jedan grad zvani Novo Brdo … (gde) postoji rudnik zlata i srebra zajedno i svake godine se iskopa vi{e od 200.000 dukata, a da nije toga verujem da bi ve} bio izgnan iz svoje Srbije“.4 Nesrazmerno zna~aju koje je Novo Brdo nekada imalo, `ivot tog sredwove- kovnog grada, posmatran u celini, ostao je nedovoqno poznat i samo delimi~no prou~en. Sa~uvana izvorna istorijska gra|a, koja je gotovo iskqu~ivo ograni- ~ena na dokumenta iz primorskih arhiva, Dubrovnika i Kotora, osvetqava na prvom mestu delovawe novobrdskih `iteqa, naj~e{}e stranaca, poreklom iz ovih gradova. O lokalnom srpskom stanovni{tvu, koje je ~inilo ve}inu gra|ana Novog Brda, raspola`e se sa znatno mawe podataka, i to uglavnom posrednih. Sa izuzetkom poznatog Zakona o rudnicima despota Stefana, u kome se nalazi i deo novobrdskog gradskog statuta,5 o ovom gradu gotovo da i nema sa~uvane srpske izvorne gra|e. Uprkos ~iwenici da raspolo`ivi izvori, izrazito ne- ujedna~eni, za sada ne pru`aju mogu}nost da se u celini sagleda razvoj Novog 1 @itije despota Stefana 1989, 98. Brda tokom 14.

  • A Multicriteria Analysis of Possible Tourist Offers in Toplica District
    QUAESTUS MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH JOURNAL A MULTICRITERIA ANALYSIS OF POSSIBLE TOURIST OFFERS IN TOPLICA DISTRICT Dragan TURANJANIN, Mališa ŢIŢOVIĆ, Marija MARČETIĆ, Miodrag ŢIŢOVIĆ Abstract: Some possibilities of making a new offer of the tourism services of the District of Toplica are indicated in the paper. The obtained order of alternative unexploited possibilities prioritizes the recovery of Kuršumlijska Banja spa in relation to all the other alternatives. Yet, it must be said that the other alternatives are also significant, and that they should also be exploited in the future so that this region might be present in the tourist offer of the Republic of Serbia to a greater extent. Keywords: multicriteria analisys, tourism, Toplica district INTRODUCTION Toplica District is an administrative district in Serbia, whose center is in Prokuplje. It is located eastwards from the Southern Morava River, i.e. it encompasses the basin of the Toplica River, a tributary of the Southern Morava, and a small part of the basin of the Rasina River, a tributary of the Western Morava. It surrounds the city of Prokuplje and the municipalities of Kuršumlija, Blace, and ŢitoraŤa. The Toplica River‘s spring is in the mountain of Kopaonik, and it was named after the numerous warm springs in its valley. This river is characteristic for the epigenia, which is found in as many as two places near the city of Prokuplje (it runs in one direction, then in the same line, but in the opposite direction). Therefore, Toplica District consists of the Toplica River Valley and is surrounded by the mountains of Jastrebac, Kopaonik, Radan, Vidojevnica and Pasjaţa.

Original Scientific Paper SPATIAL FUNCTIONAL TRANSFORMATION AND TYPOLOGY OF THE SETTLEMENT SYSTEM OF TOPLICA DISTRICT JOVAN DRAGOJLOVIĆ1, DUŠAN RISTIĆ2, NIKOLA MILENTIJEVIĆ1 1Faculty of Sciences and Mathematics, University of Priština, Kosovska Mitrovica, Serbia 2Fakulty of Geography, University of Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia ABSTRACT Contemporary processes of industralization, urbanization, deagrarianization, the polarization and globalization contribute socio-economic transformation of the observed space as well as the creation of new carrier of functional relationships in space. Towns with its own influences enrich the network of surrounding settlements, strengthen their mutual relations and create a whole functional settlement system of one area , or the gravity of the urban core. By dividing the functions of the primary, secondary and tertiary, the basis and types of settlements are created by functional criteria according to the type of economic activity and the primary content in them. In this area in the second half of the twentieth and early twenty-first century witnessed substantial changes in almost all components of demographic structure, which resulted in the transformation of functional types of settlement, when the predominantly agrarian settlement characteristic of the area of Toplica road went up mixed and service settlement. The idea behind the study is for the geographically complex area to be displayed in the light of socio- economic development, and as a basis for further economic development of this part of the Republic of Serbia.

  • Byzantium's Balkan Frontier
    This page intentionally left blank Byzantium’s Balkan Frontier is the first narrative history in English of the northern Balkans in the tenth to twelfth centuries. Where pre- vious histories have been concerned principally with the medieval history of distinct and autonomous Balkan nations, this study regards Byzantine political authority as a unifying factor in the various lands which formed the empire’s frontier in the north and west. It takes as its central concern Byzantine relations with all Slavic and non-Slavic peoples – including the Serbs, Croats, Bulgarians and Hungarians – in and beyond the Balkan Peninsula, and explores in detail imperial responses, first to the migrations of nomadic peoples, and subsequently to the expansion of Latin Christendom. It also examines the changing conception of the frontier in Byzantine thought and literature through the middle Byzantine period. is British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow, Keble College, Oxford BYZANTIUM’S BALKAN FRONTIER A Political Study of the Northern Balkans, – PAUL STEPHENSON British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow Keble College, Oxford The Pitt Building, Trumpington Street, Cambridge, United Kingdom The Edinburgh Building, Cambridge CB2 2RU, UK 40 West 20th Street, New York, NY 10011-4211, USA 477 Williamstown Road, Port Melbourne, VIC 3207, Australia Ruiz de Alarcón 13, 28014 Madrid, Spain Dock House, The Waterfront, Cape Town 8001, South Africa http://www.cambridge.org © Paul Stephenson 2004 First published in printed format 2000 ISBN 0-511-03402-4 eBook (Adobe Reader) ISBN 0-521-77017-3 hardback Contents List ofmaps and figurespagevi Prefacevii A note on citation and transliterationix List ofabbreviationsxi Introduction .Bulgaria and beyond:the Northern Balkans (c.–) .The Byzantine occupation ofBulgaria (–) .Northern nomads (–) .Southern Slavs (–) .The rise ofthe west,I:Normans and Crusaders (–) .

Abstract Detailed distribution pattern of colubrid snakes in Serbia is still inadequately described, despite the long historical study. In this paper, we provide accurate distribution of seven species, with previously published and newly accumulated faunistic records compiled. Comparative analysis of faunas among all Balkan countries showed that Serbian colubrid fauna is among the most distinct (together with faunas of Slovenia and Romania), due to small number of species. Zoogeographic analysis showed high chorotype diversity of Serbian colubrids: seven species belong to six chorotypes. South-eastern Serbia (Pčinja River valley) is characterized by the presence of all colubrid species inhabiting our country, and deserves the highest conservation status at the national level.

  • Bosnia and Herzegovina Report
    Country Report Bosnia and Herzegovina Gergana Tzvetkova, Mila Mancheva November 2019 This Country Report offers a detailed assessment of religious diversity and violent religious radicalisation in the above-named state. It is part of a series covering 23 countries (listed below) on four continents. More basic information about religious affiliation and state-religion relations in these states is available in our Country Profiles series. This report was produced by GREASE, an EU-funded research project investigating religious diversity, secularism and religiously inspired radicalisation. Countries covered in this series: Albania, Australia, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Lebanon, Lithuania, Malaysia, Morocco, Russia, Slovakia, Spain, Tunisia, Turkey and the United Kingdom. http://grease.eui.eu The GREASE project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement number 770640 Bosnia and Herzegovina Country Report GREASE The EU-Funded GREASE project looks to Asia for insights on governing religious diversity and preventing radicalisation. Involving researchers from Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Oceania, GREASE is investigating how religious diversity is governed in over 20 countries. Our work focuses on comparing norms, laws and practices that may (or may not) prove useful in preventing religious radicalisation. Our research also sheds light on how different societies cope with the challenge of integrating religious minorities and migrants. The aim is to deepen our understanding of how religious diversity can be governed successfully, with an emphasis on countering radicalisation trends. While exploring religious governance models in other parts of the world, GREASE also attempts to unravel the European paradox of religious radicalisation despite growing secularisation.

  • Kratka Povjesnica Srba Od Postanja Srpstva Do Danas
    Kratka povjesnica Srba od postanja srpstva do danas Napisao Sima Lukin Lazić (Vrač Pogađač) Izdanje piščevo ZAGREB ŠTAMPARIJA KARLA ALBREHTA 1894 Riječ dvije. Istorija je grčka riječ, a srpski se to kaže povjest ili povjesnica iliti pametarnica — sve je to jedno isto. Poslije čitanja, pisanja, računanja i očenaša, svakome čovjeku rodoljubu najpreče je znanje: povjesnica roda i naroda njegovog. Čovjek, koji ne zna, a neće da pozna povjesnicu svoga naroda, to je nesvjesno čeljade bez roda i imena, bez ljubavi i ponosa. Takvo čeljade liči na siroče nahodče sa ulice, koje ne zna: ni kako je ni otkuda je došlo na svijet, ni ko mu je bio otac, đed i prađed. Povjesnica narodna, dakle, uči se za to: da poznamo svoj rod i porjeklo svoje; da znamo, ko smo, čiji smo i otkale smo; da znamo, ko su i kakvi su nam bili naši preci, naši stari, pa ili da se ponosimo njima i da se ugledamo na njih, ili da se poučimo njihovom patnjom, pa da se čuvamo, pogrješaka njihovih. Prošlost je vodilja budućnosti svakome pametnom i razboritom čovjeku, Tako i narod, koji poznaje i ljubi svoju prošlost— svoju povjesnicu — pouzdano ide na susret budućnosti, jer će tako moći da izbjegne one pogrješke, sa kojih je patio u prošlosti. Kad znamo povjesnicu svoga naroda, i duhom smo jači, ne osjećamo se sirotni i samohrani, jer onda znamo, da imamo u svijetu još puno braće svoje, pa čisto osjećamo, kako nad nama vazda stražare veliki dusi slavnih nam predaka i čuvaju nas, da nam u srcu nikad ne ugasne sveti oganj rodoljublja, zajedničkog srodstva i ljubavi bratinjske.
