Sažetak

The paper analyses travel writings about Montenegro by a journalist, publicist and a Viennese student, Josip (Jozo) Modrić of Zadar, who also signed Giuseppe Modrich and Modric, and who wrote and published his works in Italian as well. The motives of his two visits to Montenegro in 1892 and 1902 were investigated, as well as his idealised image of that country and its inhabitants, Montenegrins, which partially coincides with and somewhat deviates from the stereotypical picture of them in European travel writing from the late 19th and early 20th century. In his travel books, Josip Modric contributed significantly to the formation, acceptance and change of the discursive practice of the kingdom of Montenegro of that time, when, due to the specific historical circumstances linked with the Savoy and Petrović dynasties, there was a significant increase in the interest of the Italian public in this overseas country.
