Тајни мемоар Александра Каратеодори-паше са Берлинског конгреса
The Secret Report of Alexander Karatheodori Pasha on the Congress of Berlin

Summary/Abstract: The work brings the analysis of the report of the chief Ottoman representative on the Congress of Berlin 1878. The report was written in French, but it was also published in Ottoman Turkish as a chapter of Mahmud Celaleddin`s book Mirat-ı Hakikat that is used in this work. The secret report of Alexander Karatheodori Pasha as a whole has never been used in the Serbian historiography. It is only Grgur Jakšić who dealt with this source in French, but only with its part concerning Bosnia and Herzegovina on the Congress of Berlin. The author of this contribution tried to look at the report as an important source both for the Congress itself, but also as a source that lightens the main characteristics of the Ottoman diplomacy and its impact on the international affairs. The secret report is an interesting and authentic historical source that gives a live picture and atmosphere of the sessions of the Congress and its main participants.
