Izvorni znanstveni rad Prihvaćeno: 25. siječnja 2019. U radu se prikazuje kreditna trgovina Ulcinjana u Dubrovniku u drugoj polovici XIV. stoljeća. Istraživanje je zasnovano na analizi građe iz Državnog arhiva u Dubrovniku (ser. 26 Diversa Notariae, ser. 35 Diversa Cancellariae i ser. 36 Debita Notariae) i relevantnoj povijesnoj literaturi. Jedan dio članka odnosi se na političke odnose između Ulcinja i Dubrovnika. Obrađeni kronološki, ponuđeni su podatci i činjenice o političkim zbivanjima između ove dvije komune. Osim političkih, analiziran je i utjecaj zdravstvenih prilika na razvoj i opseg kreditne trgovine. Drugi dio rada odnosi se na kreditno poslovanje Ulcinjana u Gradu sv. Vlaha. Tragom spomenute arhivske građe, prezentirali smo trgovačku karijeru i aktivnost pojedinih trgovaca. Njihove osnovne trgovačke krugove činile su njihove obitelji, rodbina, prijatelji i poznanici u obje komune. Materijalna dobit potaknula ih je na suradnju. Predstavljen je način uzimanja kredita iz godine u godinu, navedene su značajnije trgovačke obitelji, manje poznati ulcinjski pojedinci u kreditnoj trgovini i poslovanje trgovačkih društava, kojom su robom najčešće trgovali, kreditna jamstva (jamci i zalog), prokuratori, rokovi vraćanja kredita i kamatne stope. Navedena su najvažnija imena dužnika i kreditora te kolike kredite uzimaju. Analiziran je opseg i vrijednost trgovine kreditima te prikazan promet i rekonstrukcija gospodarske povijesti Ulcinja, što je uslijed neraspoloživosti građe matičnog arhiva od posebne važnosti.
The paper analyzes the position of Montenegro in three geopolitical concepts -Atlanticism, continentalism and Neo-Ottomanism. Atlanticism is traditionally interested in the control of the coastal area. In this context, for the US and the UK is much more convenient to have in that zone, in every respect weaker Montenegro, but militarily and economically strong state. From the point of principle interest Atlanticism, it can be concluded that the independence of Montenegro is the objective of this geopolitical concept. However, the Montenegrin coast represents the geopolitical contact zone of Atlanticism, Neo-Ottomanism and Continentalism. The most important geopolitical goal for Atlanticism in this part of the Mediterranean is the control of Otranto, and therefore the most interesting is the coastal zone of Albania. The second objective is to prevent the release of continentalism to the warm sea, which at first could happen in Istria and northern Dalmatia, and therefore the Croatian part of the Adriatic coast is of greater interest than the Montenegrin coast. Montenegro, regardless of its sea zone of great geopolitical interest to Atlanticism, has no primary importance for this geopolitical concept. That is why Atlanticism is likely and ready to transform geopolitical objectives in foreign policy doctrines and strategies and treat Montenegro just as an object of diplomatic trade. Immediately since the independence of Montenegro, Russia has been involved in a very original way in the geopolitical battle for the Adriatic.
