SLOBODAN JOVANOVIĆ IN THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS (1892–1897) [Part two]

Summary/Abstract: Slobodan Jovanović (1869–1958) was a renowned Serbian scholar and statesman, lawyer, legal and political philosopher, historian, literary critic and writer, professor of public and constitutional law. This paper deals with Jovanović`s early carier in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Kingdom of Serbia (1892–1897). In 1894, Jovanović was promoted to Chief of Education Section in Political Division of the Ministry, the so called “Propaganda” (1894–1897). Propaganda was a division similar to Eastern departments in other foreign ministries. In July 1894, Jovanović visited Serbian consulate in the Ottoman Empire and delivered a confidential report to the foreign minister. In his letter, Slobodan Jovanović informed his colleague Mihailo Ristić about the new tendencies in Russian politics towards the Balkans (shifting from pro-Bulgarian to pro-Serbian) and consequently pro-Austro-Hungarian attempts to close Propaganda division of the Serbian Foreign Office (in March, 1895). In government lead by Stojan Novaković (1842–1915), Jovanović was his secretary (1895–1896). The paper deals with the relationship between these two prominent Serbian scholars and statesmen.
