Avram Petronijević and the Serb Movement in Vojvodina, 1848-1849

Summary/Abstract: As Prime Minister, Petronijević actively supported and helped the Serb struggle in Vojvodina (sending of volunteers, issuing weapons and ammunition from the military magazines in Serbia). Through reliance upon the Port, Russia, and Austria, he tried to realize the proclaimed goals of the Serbs, as expressed in the May Assembly. In these efforts, he enjoyed the support of the Patriarch Rajačić. He was unforgiving to Hungarians, fearing their rising nationalism, and rejected all collaboration with them. In 1849, Petronijević proposed a particular project of the Constitutional organization, which included some articles used in Serbia. Because of illness and private affairs, at the time when the Viennese Court took over the control over the Serb movement, in May 1849, Petronijević was granted a three-month leave, ending his participation in Serbian politics, towards the 1848-1849 revolution in Austria.
