A new interpretation of the genesis of Načertanije: Serbocentrism of the Lambert Hotel and Croats

Piotr Zurek

Abstract

This paper is the full Croatian version of my paper “Nowa interpretacja genezy Načertanije – serbocentryzm Hotelu Lambert a Chorwaci”, presented at the conference “Idee wspólnotowe Słowiańszczyny: bilans i zagrożenia”, held on 27-28 March 2003 in Poznań. The paper aims to clarify the role of the Lambert Hotel and of Croats in the creation of the plan of the Serbian Minister of Internal Affairs Ilija Garašanin, known as the ”Načertanije”. It should be kept in mind that the Lambert Hotel was the aristocratic gathering place of Polish emigrants between 1833 and 1870. It took its name from the Parisian palace of the head of this organization, prince Adam Jerzy Czartoryski (1770-1861). Despite some deep-seeded stereotypes, the Lambert Hotel and the Croatian Illyrians never participated directly in the creation of the “Načertanije”, and the indirect participation therein of the Lambert Hotel was no more crucial than the participation of Croatian “Illyrians”. In other words, there are no grounds to label prince Czartoryski as a source of inspiration for the recent greatserbian aggression.
