MIHOVIL PAVLINOVIĆ IN THE “SERBIAN NEWSPAPER”

Tihomir Rajčić ; Split, Hrvatska

Sažetak

Mihovil Pavlinović, priest, educator, writer and politician, in his political work advocated for the preservation of Croatian culture in Dalmatia. His primary concern was stemming the influence of italian literature and culture. During Bach’s Absolutism in the 1850s, he supported Serbian minority aspirations, as a ally against Italian influence. During the 1860s he advocated for “Slavism,” as a variant of Yugoslavism, and the unification of Dalmatia with Croatia proper. After the mid 1860s, witnessing the spread of Serbian national thought in Dalmatia, he began to reinterpret his yugoslavism. He identified three south Slavic states, Bulgaria, Serbia and Croatia, which he felt should be confederated. He argued that Serbs in Croatia should be accorded minority national rights, but that they in turn should accept a united and territorially whole Croatia as their state and not advocate the spread of Serbian statehood to Croatian territory. In this work, the author examines the attitude taken by the “Serbian newspaper” toward Pavlinović from the start of its publication in 1880 until his death in 1887. It concludes that the paper portrayed Pavlinović in a negative light. The main reason for this was that Pavlinović was one of the few intellectuals who correctly appreciated the danger of Serbian politics in Dalmatia: the Serbianization of Dalmatia and the spread of the Serbian state idea outside of the boundaries of Serbia.
