Utvičići iz Foče
The Utvičićs from Foča

Bosnian or Ragusan Origin?

Summary/Abstract: The example of Radič Milovčić Utvičić from Foča solved a dilemma, namely, it confirmed the standpoint that he was a local merchant from Foča who had acquired Ragusan citizenship and remained tied to Bosnia. Radič Milovčić Utvičić, like numerous other local merchants from Bosnia, and as a Ragusan citizen, continued his trading activities and life in the former place of residence. The Milovčić-Utvičić family were not natives of Ragusa who moved from Ragusa to Foča with the entire family, therefore, the thesis on migration of numerous families from Ragusa to Bosnia, which is based only on this particular example, proves untenable.
