Summary/Abstract: Montenegro had to renounce its national policy in Herzegovina after the Berlin Congress (1878) at the request of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It had to stay neutral no matter what was happening in Herzegovina. It was a difficult situation for the official Cetinje but the unwanted political and economic moves of a powerful neighbor had to be taken into consideration. Therefore, Prince Nikola conducted very cautious policy especially during the occupation (1878) and the Uprising in 1882. However, no matter to what extent Montenegro expressed its neutrality, it secretly followed and helped the Uprising in Herzegovina and Krivošije.
