The international community was actively involved in the crisis from the very start. It attempted to settle differences (The Hague Conference), then set the criteria for the mutual recognition of the successor-states (acknowledgment of republican borders as state borders), provided humanitarian aid throughout the war, imposed peace agreements on the war- ring sides, embarked on armed intervention in Bosnia and then in Kosovo, and finally opened up avenues towards Europe to all the states emerging from Yugoslavia. However, the signatures put on the peace agreements did not put an end to national projects nor to territorial ambitions (albeit to be achieved by other means). As long as these aspirations were predominant, any reconcilia- tion process was inconceivable. The thesis also prevailed that the war had been waged for re-composition of the Balkans, of course along ethnic lines. The borders defined by the Badinter Commis- sion on Yugoslavia remained, though most of the newly-estab- lished countries became predominantly nation-states. The ethnic principle taking precedence over the civic still keeps the issues of Bosnia-Herzegovina and Macedonia open. There is no doubt that it also keeps open the question of Kosovo, regardless of its many minority communities. The international community undertook many fact-finding initiatives (aimed at ascertaining the number of victims, for exam- ple) that turned out to be successful. In this context, much has likewise been done in the territory of the former Yugoslavia (in the newly-emerged states), mostly in publishing, the compilation 9 – of documentation and testimonies, video-recordings, etc. And notable progress has been made in the establishment of the num- ber of victims on all sides. This is of major significance as it bars the way to further myth construction and manipulation with the number of victims. It goes without saying that the Hague Tribunal has made the biggest contribution and left the region an invaluable legacy. This mostly relates to its numerous rulings, documentation, video- material, and so on. True, regardless of all the important work it has done, The Hague Tribunal has not answered the crucial ques- tion about the character of the war. Despite the indisputably precious insight into the develop- ment of the war, contextualization and a vertical chronology of the events that eventually led up to it are still lacking. In other words, a proper understanding of Yugoslavia’s brutal disintegra- tion calls for an insight into the crucial cause of the break-up – an insight into the conflict between various concepts for Yugoslavia’s re-organization (while the country was still in existence). The majority of citizens in the successor states do not have a real understanding of the reasons behind the disintegration of their former country and the hardships the war brought with it.. Strong emotions and impressions, individual and collective, have been stirred up, but without essential knowledge about the Sec- ond Yugoslavia or knowledge about one or other of the peoples that were its constituent elements. This is particularly true of the younger generations who are almost indifferent to the former Yugoslavia and barely know anything about the region. Their atti- tude towards other ethnic communities ranges from utter uncon- cern to extreme intolerance. This is the result of the fact that all the successor states that ethnically adjusted and largely fabricated their histories have distanced themselves from Yugoslavia. A state of confusion, mutual animosity and distrust, espe- cially characteristic of the young, hinders reconciliation and 10 WHY THIS PROJECT normalization, which can only be attained through historical truth. As things stand now in the region, reconciliation will be left to younger generations that had nothing to do with the conflict. The purpose of this project is to interpret and describe objec- tively key historical processes that are vital to an understanding of Yugoslavia and its brutal disintegration. Yugoslavia played a cru- cial historical role: it functioned as a framework for the emanci- pation of all the Yugoslav peoples and the constitution of their republics – states. This collection of papers is the product of a joint endeavor by a group of historians, art historians, culturologists, sociologists, economists, politicologists and other researchers of different gen- erations. It can also guide the reader through more copious read- ing material made up of studies that are already in place or will be placed in due course on the Web portal at www.yuhistorija.com. This research project was realized thanks to support by the Fed- eral Ministry for Foreign Affairs of the FR of Germany. Formally, the research behind it took two years, but it is actually the product of a much longer-term process. All the researchers involved have invested years or even decades of research work in their studies. Thanks to the fact that they trusted one another and cooperat- ed as true colleagues – a pre-condition for harmonious work on this project and the result of long years of interaction, the project proceeded smoothly as the logical outcome of the collaboration of many years by critically-minded humanities scholars in post- Yugoslavia territory. Since its initial stage, work on the project has so far involved almost fifty researchers and experts in (post) Yugo- slav history from all the successor states and many from the West. The fact that the past is being misused on a daily basis in all the post-Yugoslav states, without exception, shows that we are right when we argue that rational knowledge and historical research are both a starting point and an essential element of stable relations in the region, which are imperative to its sustainability. 11 – We make no claim to present a definitive picture of Yugosla- via’s disintegration as that will be certainly the focus of research of future scholars. The truth about its break-up is not simple or one-sided; on the contrary, it is extremely complex and calls for a multi-disciplinary approach. Our ambition, however, is to pro- vide enough information and analysis to younger generations that will give them a deeper insight into the context other than the one they are being offered. Our ambition is not only to assist them in overcoming the historical narratives that have been imposed on them, but also to encourage their constructive and deeper reason- ing about their future in the countries in which they live. Sonja Biserko 12 yu-history: A Multi-perspective historicAl Account Foreword yu-history: a multi-perspective historical account Under a variety of titles, numerous books in different languag- es, published before and after the disintegration of the SFR of Yugoslavia tackle the history of Yugoslavia. A major character- istic of the works by South Slav writers is that they are authored by one and rarely two historians. Representative Yugoslav multi- ethnic projects have been realized only partially.

  • Mark Cornwall LOYALTY and TREASON in LATE HABSBURG
    Mark Cornwall LOYALTY AND TREASON IN LATE HABSBURG CROATIA A Violent Political Discourse before the First World War In her famous work The Meaning of Treason, the novelist and journalist Re- becca West suggests that the concepts of loyalty and treachery are polar op- posites in human society: There is always loyalty, for men love life and cling together under the threats of the uncar- ing universe. So there is always treachery, since there is the instinct to die as well as the in- stinct to live; and as loyalty changes to meet the changing threats of the environment, so treachery changes also.1 This chapter analyses these shifting concepts of loyalty and treason (the polit- icizing of treachery) through a case study from Croatia in the early twentieth century. Late Habsburg Croatia, with its narrow political franchise—less than 2 % of the population—which existed alongside a burgeoning civil society, might rightly be imagined as a territory containing multiple and conflicting loyalties. There was Croatia’s complex ethnic and religious mixture (Croat and Serb, following Catholic, Orthodox and even Jewish faiths) and its sensi- tive geographical location on the Habsburg frontiers, where a military border against the Ottoman Empire had only been abolished in 1881. And not least, there existed historic ties which bound Croatia to both halves of the Habs- burg monarchy despite the dualist system that had existed since 1867. In 1868, Croatia, having been joined to Hungary for over seven hundred years, was uniquely given a degree of home rule, with its own government and par- liament (the Sabor) in Zagreb.

  • National Minorities in Yugoslavia 1918-1941
    UDK: 323.15(497.1)’’1918/1941’’ Pregledni članak Received: March 26, 2012 Accepted: May 21, 2012 NATIONAL MINORITIES IN YUGOSLAVIA 1918-1941 Zoran JANJETOVIĆ∗ Th e aim of this article is the analysis of national minorities in the fi rst Yugo- slav state, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Focusing on its multicultural struc- ture and shaping its political, social and religious diversity, the author takes into account the problems of various minority groups in Yugoslavia and the failure of its global minority politics as well. Key words: Kingdom of Yugoslavia, national minorities, minority politics, political organization, education Th e fi rst common state of Southern Slavs was founded in 1918 at the end of WWI. Although it purported to be a national state on the Western European model, it was in fact as multi-national as the defunct empires it has replaced.1 Among the patchwork of nationalities making up its population, were numer- ous national minorities most of whom were non-Slavs. Th ey made up some 12 % of the total population, but not all of them were offi cially recognized as na- tional minorities and the existence of some of them was denied altogether.2 ∗ Zoran Janjetović, Ph. D., Institute for Recent History of Serbia, Belgrade, Serbia 1 Th e state was founded under the name the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, and was renamed Yugoslavia only in 1929. However, for convenience, we’ll call it simply Yugoslavia throughout this paper. 2 Th e existence of Aromunians in Macedonia and Romanians in Eastern Serbia were acknowl- edged but they were not legally recognized as national minorities.

  • Introduction When the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes – from 1929 Kingdom of Yugoslavia – Was Formed in 1918, One of I
    Introduction When the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes – from 1929 Kingdom of Yugoslavia – was formed in 1918, one of its most important tasks was to forge a common collective identity. Intellectual elites in the young state with great optimism agreed that education would play a crucial role in this process. It should come as no surprise, then, that a relatively rich tradition of scholarly research into the representation of collective identities in Yugoslav education has originated, precisely to account for the failure of the Yugoslav project in the long term. Recently, a growing body of scholarly research has established textbooks as one of the more rewarding sources for studying collective identity in education, focusing on ‘what knowledge is included and rejected in ... textbooks, and how the transmission of this selected knowledge often attempts to shape a particular form of national memory, national identity and national consciousness’.1 For the Yugoslav case this emerging research field so far has primarily examined textbooks which were used in the period directly preceding, during and following the disintegration of Yugoslavia.2 However, as the present article hopes to illustrate, textbook analysis can also provide the historian with interesting new elements for the study of collective identities in Yugoslavia’s more distant past. With its focus on national identity in Serbian, Croatian and Slovenian textbooks before the First World War, and later also in interwar Yugoslavia, the work of Charles Jelavich still occupies a somewhat

A. T. HALL THE VICTOR VANQUISHED EMANCIPATION IN ST. CROIXJ ITS ANTECEDENTS AND IMMEDIATE AFTERMATH INTRODUCTION The slave uprising of 2-3 July 1848 in St. Croix, Danish West Indies, belongs to that splendidly isolated category of Caribbean slave revolts which succeeded if, that is, one defines success in the narrow sense of the legal termination of servitude. The sequence of events can be briefly rehearsed. On the night of Sunday 2 July, signal fires were lit on the estates of western St. Croix, estate bells began to ring and conch shells blown, and by Monday morning, 3 July, some 8000 slaves had converged in front of Frederiksted fort demanding their freedom. In the early hours of Monday morning, the governor general Peter von Scholten, who had only hours before returned from a visit to neighbouring St. Thomas, sum- moned a meeting of his senior advisers in Christiansted (Bass End), the island's capital. Among them was Lt. Capt. Irminger, commander of the Danish West Indian naval station, who urged the use of force, including bombardment from the sea to disperse the insurgents, and the deployment of a detachment of soldiers and marines from his frigate (f)rnen. Von Scholten kept his own counsels. No troops were despatched along the arterial Centreline road and, although he gave Irminger permission to sail around the coast to beleaguered Frederiksted (West End), he went overland himself and arrived in town sometime around 4 p.m.

Serbia’s “Great War” was indeed la Grande Guerre, that of 1914-1918. Too often, history books now remember only that Serbia was the (unwilling) cause of that war, and public perception then fast-forwards to the 1990s, when Serbia was generally cast as the villain of the “wars of the Yugoslav succession”. Even to students of World War I, it seems to disappear from the screen between December 1915 – when it collapsed under the onslaught of German, Austro- Hungarian and Bulgarian armies – and September 1918 – when an Allied offensive, with a resurrected Serbian army, broke through the Thessaloniki Front. Yet at the time, Serbia’s resistance, the winter retreat of its aged monarch, with officialdom, parliament, army and countless refugees, was the stuff of legend. A wave of Serbophilia swept through public opinion in Allied countries – notably in France and Great Britain. V. Eski¶evi≠’s painting, reproduced as a well-known picture postcard and used as the cover illustration of the volume here reviewed, symbolises it.

If one can judge from his statement, underage Gavrilo Princip, like so many of his peers, was foremost convinced that South Slavs should be liberated from a foreign yoke and unite in their own state; this belief was strongly though not articulately mixed with another conviction that the world about to come must be the world of profound social transformation. Two motives with which our story of ‘one hundred years of citizenship’ begins will be repeated in many different forms during this century: should South Slavs have their own common state? Or form separate ones? And, regardless of the answer, should political transformations entail more social equality or only a change of the rulers at the top of the existing hierarchy? Every idea often has deep roots and various historic materializations.

Zarković* Institute for Serbian Culture – Prishtina / Leposavić FANDAS AND OPERATION OF THE AUSTRIA–HUNGARY IN PRIZREN AND PEĆ SANJAK (1900–1905)** Abstract: The author points out the Austro–Hungarian influence on the Catholic Albanians– fandas in Prizren and Peć sanjak in the early 20th century. Austro–Hun- garian activity in this field intensified after the Serbo–Turkish wars and the Congress of Berlin. Violence against the Serbian population had since become more frequent, aided by the fandas that have the support and protection of Roman Catholic priests and Austro-Hungarian diplomats. The Catholic Albanian people commit various forms of zulum over Serbian people, who powerless before them abandoned their properties. A large number of Serbian properties were getting new owners –fandas, that were set- tled with the permission of the beys. The Austria–Hungary, wishing to cause as much disorder as possible, incited the fandas and Mohammedan Albanian people against the Serbian people, in whom they saw the main obstacle to the achievement of their aims and the occupation of these regions. The situation demanded greater involvement of Serbian and Russian diplomacy in protecting the thinned-out Serbian population in Peć and Prizren sanjak. Key words: Serbian people, Albanian people, fandas, Austria–Hungary, Peć san- jak, Prizren sanjak The Serbian population who lived in the area of Old Serbia in the late 19th and early 20th century found themselves in an unenviable position.

  • Trajectories of Croatian Jesuit Historiography Brnardic, Teodora Shek
    From Acceptance to Animosity: Trajectories of Croatian Jesuit Historiography Brnardic, Teodora Shek Teodora Shek Brnardić [email protected] Last modified: March 2018 Introduction The emergence of a Croatian historiography of the Society of Jesus took place in the often virulently anti-Jesuit and anti-clerical atmosphere that was prevalent in Croatia in the second half of the nineteenth and first half of the twentieth century. This period represented a historical crisis for the Jesuit order in Croatia, one that provoked controversies that were largely absent in the pre-suppression period, unlike in many other countries where such disputes had existed ever since the sixteenth century. In 1932, Miroslav Vanino, S.J. (1879–1965) launched a scholarly journal entitled Vrela i prinosi: Zbornik za povijest isusovačkog reda u hrvatskim krajevima (Sources and contributions: Collected papers on the history of the Jesuit order in the Croatian lands),1 which marked a turning point in the creation of a Croatian Jesuit historiography. In doing so, Vanino intended to revise the prevailing view of the pre-suppression Jesuits, who were often accused of behaving in an “anti-national” way. This latter view had become widespread among the educated Croatian elite, particularly during the Austro-Hungarian fin-de-siècle. Vanino’s journal accordingly sought to correct this politically biased interpretation of the Jesuits’ role in Croatian history with articles written by both Jesuit and non-Jesuit contributors.2 The journal would provide the foundation for a source-based, critical history of the Society of Jesus in the Croatian lands and of its relations with the Croats.
