SERBIAN PARTY IN DALMATIA AND ITS PRAGMATIC ENGAGEMENT IN THE POLICY OF „THE NEW COURSE“

Autor se u članku bavi pragmatičnim uključivanjem Srpske stranke u Dalmaciji (punim imenom Srpska narodna stranka na Primorju) u politiku “novoga kursa” 1905. godine. Pritom su istražene tri faze toga procesa: razdoblje dvojbi od 1901. do kraja 1903., razdoblje postupnog približavanja tijekom 1904. i 1905. te pragmatično uključivanje Srpske stranke u Dalmaciji u politiku “novoga kursa” u studenome 1905. godine. Srpska je stranka tada, da bi izbjegla političku izolaciju, ali i zato što je dobila konkretne političke ustupke, napokon pristala na sporazum s Hrvatskom strankom u Dalmaciji.The author of this article deals with the pragmatic political background of the Serbian political party in Dalmatia, known by its full name as the Serbian National Party at the Adriatic Coast, and its accession to the policy of „the new course“.

By this agreement the Serbian Party in Dalmatia gained specific political and cultural concessions, and was also involved in broader political trends
