Migraciona kretanja muslimanskog stanovništva na Balkanu krajem XIX stoljeća
Migratory movements of the Muslim population of the Balkans in the late nineteenth century

Summary/Abstract: Migratory movements have always occurred after major wars, and also as the consequence of many unresolved political, economic, social, cultural and other issues. Pursuant to the 1878 Berlin Congress the Ottoman Empire had to renounce three-fifths of its territory and one-fifth of its entire population, some five and a half million people, of which half were Muslim. The relations between the newly-created Balkan states and the Muslims are poorly or one-sidedly documented in nineteenth-century sources. Documentation of a journalistic nature is dominated by negative stereotypes of Muslims, and has nothing to say of the violence against Muslims that accompanied the explosion and course of the struggle for independence.
