Abstract

The article deals with the relations between Dubrovnik and the Bosnian Duke Radoslav Pavlović, which can be traced to the time of the Konavle war from 1430 to 1433. The war was waged by Radoslav Pavlović and the inhabitants of Dubrovnik due to Radoslav’s breach of contract on selling his share of the Konavle region to the inhabitants of Dubrovnik. It was both military and diplomatic war involving other important factors in Bosnia, Hum and beyond. The positions of the conflicting parties in the war reflected the diplomatic activities of the inhabitants of Dubrovnik who tried to weaken and destroy their enemy in various ways (by creating the alliance against Radoslav and by compromising the Duke in Bosnia, Hungary and Venice). In this conflict the inhabitants of Dubrovnik used all legal and illegal means; the darkest secret of the Dubrovnik secret diplomacy was the attempted murder of the Duke Radoslav Pavlović, either by poisoning or stabbing.
