Дубровник и неовизантийските държави (Адриатическият модел в установяването на икономически връзки на Балканите през първата половина на ХІІІ век)
The Neo-Byzantine States and Dubrovnik – on the Issue of the Settlement of Bilateral Trade Relations in the First Half of the Thirteenth Century

Summary/Abstract: The publication aims to present the initial establishment of trade and economic ties between the heirs of the Byzantine political tradition on the one hand, and Ragusa on the other, in the first half of the 13th century. During the period under review, Dubrovnik demonstrated exceptional flexibility in settling its trade, economic and political relations. This process was purposeful and fully consistent with the interests of the Dalmatian city, but also with the general political situation in the Balkans. The systematic development of Dubrovnik's trade on the peninsula led the Ragusans to build their own model of interconnectedness with their economic partners in the southeast of Europe, and the neo-Byzantine states that emerged after 1204 were no exception. The exhibition traces a number of written testimonies outlining the development of the Dubrovnik-Roman relations. In addition, the article cites also sources revealing bilateral ties between Dubrovnik and its other trading partners in the Balkans. Through various comparisons, the author reveals the role of the neo-Byzantine states, and in particular that of the Epirus, in the settlement of Dubrovnik's trade with the territories of the southeast of Europe in the first half of the 13th century.
