Summary/Abstract: In Crnjanski’s poetry, the homeland is symbolized by toponyms, which are already exhibited in the titles. They present some elements of tradition, e. g. a reference to folk songs heroes and Orthodox religion. The transfer of local names and some elements of foreign culture expose the exotic feature of this territory. It is an example of the cultural barrier and difficulties with understanding cultural context. The poetry by Crnjanski refers to a foreign space which is exotic, not only for the Polish reader, but also for readers of the original texts.
