Rudarsko pravo i nastanak gradske samouprave u srednjovjekovnoj Bosni
MINING LAW AND THE CREATION OF THE CITY SELFGOVERNMENTS IN MEDIEVAL BOSNIA

Summary/Abstract: Not all cities of medieval Bosnia had the same interior design. In addition to the prominent leadership role of the city prince, there were influences of regional lords, the ruling family, but the self-government of the local population also occurs. The beginning of city self-government in the Bosnian Middle Ages is the so-called Saxon privileges, more precisely, the mining customs transmitted from mines and mining squares as statutory regulations to the urban settlements and from 1377 to the Kingdom of Bosnia. Mining is the first market enterprise and the first industrial branch of medieval Bosnia, which, along with territorial expansion and entry to the Adriatic Sea, represents the veil of the entire economy, as well as the first legal norms that were used in the environment. This type of local self-government is different from the Hungarian city privileges. The first Bosnian town with royal privileges was Bihac, to which King Ladislav IV, in 1279, affirmed earlier Bela IV privileges modeled on Zagreb's Gradec.
