MIGRACIJE NA ISTOČNOJ OBALI JADRANA U FUNCIJI INTERKULTURNOG DIJALOGA - STUDIJA SLUČAJA CRNOGORSKE ZAJEDNICE U PEROJU
MIGRATION ON THE EASTERN COAST OF THE ADRIATIC AS A FUNCTION OF INTERCULTURAL DIALOGUE - CASE STUDY OF THE MONTENEGRO COMMUNITY IN PEROJ

Summary/Abstract: The article highlights key elements of intercultural dialogue on the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea. The subject of the research is the aspects of establishing intercultural relations between the immigrant Montenegrin national community in Peroj and the local population. With the consent of the Venetian Republic, they settled in the then-abandoned place in 1657, which had been devastated by a plague epidemic. In addition to the historical context of the migration of this community, the research will particularly focus on brief accounts of Montenegrins in Peroj found in two works by the French travel writer Charles Yriarte. The reference is to the book Bosnie et Herzégovine – souvenirs de voyage pendant l’insurrection 1875-1876, from 1876, and the luxurious work Les Bords de l’Adriatique et le Monténégro from 1878, which will be used to analyze the position of the Montenegrin immigrant community in Istria. The article also aims to highlight the positive symbolic importance of fostering intercultural dialogue in our contemporary Adriatic environment, particularly in relation to the oldest Montenegrin diaspora in Peroj, through the cultivation of awareness of origin and the preservation of religious, cultural, and linguistic identity.
