Заветна мисао Србије у политици пречанских Срба до почетка Првог светског рата
Ideological Legacy Of Serbia In The Politics Of The „Prečani“ Serbs To The Beginning Of The First World War

Summary/Abstract: From despot Đorđe Branković to the leader of Serbian radicals in Austria-Hungary, Jaša Tomić, ideological legacy of Serbia in the form of the ideas and programme for national liberation of Serbs and their unification included territories of Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia, Herzegovina and the Old Serbia, i. e. the territories in which Serbian people presented ethnic majority. In the efforts to conceptualize Serbian national and democratic policy and direct Serbia and Montenegro to entering a war against the Ottoman Empire in the Balkans, the political leaders of Prečani Serbs consistently and solely counted on the aid and support of the tsarist Russia as well as joint warfare of Balkan Christians against the Porte, which itself was not declined understanding by the great western European countries due to their own discordant imperialistic interests. Serbian political leaders quite rarely managed to concord their perception of national politics with the authorities in Serbia, especially in the case of bad judgement about the right timing for initiating a national movement. * Prečani (from pre = across) – a historical term denoting Serbian population living outside the territory of Serbia and Montenegro, but in the territory of Bosnia, Herzegovina and Croatia.
