According to Velimir Visković, some of these prominent and influential writers “felt the obligation to act as guardians of collective memory, defenders of national identity. When the common state started falling apart, when the ideological system caved in, some of these writers started to believe in their own prophetic function as national bards that model the political future of their own people. They understood their role in an anachronistic manner that was nourished by the mythological images of folk epics or by the romanticist poetry of the 19th century. Even in the ‘80s we faced the flourishing of new historical novels that did not deal with history in the post-modern manner of historical meta-fiction, but tried to throw light on the past of their people from the perspective of militant nationalism, pointing out enemies and constructing the ideological foundation for the future wars. In the ‘90s, numerous writers appeared as authors of flattering praise for national leaders, while some of them were even major ideological architects of the concepts of ethnic cleansing.” Besides Visković, other writers and theoreticians writing about this phenomena in this column include names such as Slavenka Drakulić, Mirjana Miočinović, Predrag Matvejević, Nikola Bertolino, Filip David, Nikica Mihaljević, Marko Vešović, Teofil Pančić, Andrej Nikolaidis, Tvrtko Kulenović, Milan T. Đorđević, Andrew Wachtel and Enver Kazaz.

In the bibliography of prof. dr. Boris Nilević (1947-1999) eleven works were published in eight columns of the periodical Bosanska vila, published by the Serb educational and cultural society “Prosvjeta” – Sarajevo, from 1994 to 1998. These interesting works about the medieval Bosnian dinar, about the Jews through five centuries of life in Bosnia and Herzegovina, about the artistic connections of the Republic of Dubrovnik and the Serb Orthodox Church in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the times of Ottoman rule, the establishment of the Old Orthodox Church in Sarajevo, the coronation of King Tvrtko I, Georgije Mitrofanović, Mostar in the works of Vladimir Ćorović, Hasan Kafija Prušćak, about Eugene of Savoy etc, contributed to the general development of historiography of Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially to the historiography of medieval and Ottoman Bosnia. Apart from their obvious scientific qualities, the virtue of these texts also lies in the essayistic presentation and the fact that they bring various historical topics much closer to the general readers.

For Serbia’s nationalistic elite the outcome of Montenegro’s referendum independence was the hardest blow ever. The time – the months to come, rather than years – will show that even Kosovo’s “parting” from Serbia will not be so traumatic and dramatic experience as “the betrayal of Serbian brothers,” “the blossom of the Serbian nation.” Nowadays it doesn’t matter much what caused such bitter feelings in the first place – Serbian nationalists’ certainty that something like that could never happen, the sense that on May 21 Montenegro might have finally put to death the longstanding and stubborn Greater Serbia project, or both. Actually, the “national” Belgrade is in shock. Unlike the rest of Serbia that remained rather indifferent to the referendum’s outcome and behaved as if something like that was to be expected. Anyway, hasn’t an outcome as such been systematically prepared in Montenegro and even in Serbia, though without much enthusiasm in the latter? As psychologists would put it, Belgrade is in the zone of specific post-referendum frustration. The loudest advocates of the Serbian Montenegro are experiencing mixed feelings of resignation and disappointment, while those most militant among them cannot hide their revolt, fury and even syndromes of revenge. True, some kind of hope that this is nothing but “an episode,” that actually “nothing of crucial importance has taken place, since Serbia-Montenegro still exists though without a part” (as Milos Aligrudic, high official of the Democratic Party of Serbia put it) and that Montenegro would soon “come to its senses” and “realize it made a hasty decision,” i.e. that it made a strategic, historical, national, political, economic and social mistake when it removed itself from Serbia’s brotherly hug remained in the air. Montenegro acted to its own detriment, say Serbian nationalists. For, ever since 1991 – when Milosevic begun to implement the Memorandum ideology through nationalism and wars, with the hearty support of the then and actual masterminds of Serbian nationalism - from Dobrica Cosic to Ljubomir Tadic, Matija Beckovic and others - and started the tidal wave that swallowed the former Yugoslavia, Serbian nationalists have been deeply convinced that anyone renouncing Serbia would perish in a perspective of history...

U domaćoj naučnoj i stručnoj literaturi ovi lakaliteti gotovo da se i ne spominju.Da bi se dobio barem povrsan uvid u njihov izgled, sadržaj i topagrafiju tih lokaliteta potrebno je reći nešto o svakom od njih.

Samo pet naselja bila su čiflici sa makedonskiim stanovništvom - Ribnik, Toplik, Uljanci, Nogajevci i Ubogo. U ostalim selima živeli su Turci.

“Full Prisons,” “No Rooms Free in Lockup,” “The Austrian Prisons are Ripping at the Seams” –– These kind of blunt headlines are regularities in the yellow press. Academia and legal firms are talking about “overfilling becoming the universal norm.” In March 2008 approximately 8,800 people were incarcerated in Austrian correctional facilities; in May, 2006 it reached over 9,000 people. In light of the Austrian population of 8.3 Million, this means there were 105 inmates for every 100,000 citizen in 2007. In Germany the rate reaches 95 and Switzerland only 83 inmates per 100,000 residents.

Ukupno stvaralaštvo Milene Marković naglašeno je referencijalno u odnosu na stvarnost i, pre svega, snažno zaokupljeno jednom vrstom antropološkog angažmana – ispitivanjem i propitivanjem ljudske prirode i pozicije jedinke u svetu. Pesma Istorija, sok, salama (Marković, 2006, 8–9) upravo paradigmatično odslikava onaj osobeni socijalni angažman, koji se i u i njenim dramama i u njenoj poeziji izlučuje iz naglašene senzitivnosti jedinke koja reaguje na svet. Taj angažman je ideološki neutralan i podrazumeva, pre svega, lični odnos autorke prema vlastitoj socijalnoj zajednici, njenom aktuelnom sistemu vrednosti, prošlosti, ideologemama i mitemama na kojima ona počiva. Efemernih „pola kile leba“, „salama“, „sok što je pola popio“, akcentuju sudbinu čoveka iza kojeg ostaju i u vizuri lirskog subjekta ravnopravni su s istorijom.

Translation of St. John of Rila’s holy relics from Tyrnovo to Rila monastery in the literary works devoted to it was represented as an eschatological epilogue of the medieval Bulgarian culture. A decomposition of the description within the context of the social and confessional realities of the early Ottoman domination at orthodox Balkans allows to look at the event itself against the background of the emerging sociocultural processes. Their main actors were local communities of clergy, former aristocracy and citizens as well as intellectual networks of authors and scribes. The renewed sacral geography of the former Byzantine, Bulgarian and Serbian lands became an element of the early Ottoman sociocultural landscape. The translation of St. John of Rila’s relics is represented in the article as result of common efforts which lead to the affirmation of Rila monastery as the main spiritual and cultural center of the Bulgarian lands under Ottoman domination.

The observatory that founded by Aristide Coumbary in 1868 in Istanbul, operated until the end of the First World War. The observatory that equipped with imported equipment from Europe, has shared information with stations in Ottoman Empire and observatories in Europe countries through telegraph lines. Thus, the measurements made by the stations were evaluated together with the data from observations in Europe and weather forecast reports were issued. Obtained meteorological reports have been tried to be publicized daily through telegrams and newspapers. The possibilities of the process are limited and therefore, sufficient success has not been achieved. The observatory has arranged the data obtained as daily, monthly and annual tables to start from 1868.The data has been shared with the press for the benefit of the people. It can not be said that weather forecasts are published regularly due to reasons such as the interruption of observatory work for various reasons, the partial destruction of the observatory's material during the March 31 Incident and the variable interest of the newspapers.

This paper analyzes the Preslavisms in the text of Kopitar’s Gospel, a Bosnian Church Slavonic manuscript from the second half of the 14th century. The sporadic presence of the lexicon from the second redaction of the Slavonic translation of the Gospel (T2) in Kopitar’s manuscript raised the important question of the origin of the younger template used by the scribe of this codex. The comparative analysis showed that, in addition to the main template belonging to the tradition of the first redaction (T1), the scribe also used a control template with an updated Jurjevsko-Mstislav type vocabulary. The control template is close to the textual tradition of the second editorial board, whose testimonies are found in numerous East Slavic and South Slavic manuscripts.
