Annunciation Council
The Annunciation Council ( sr-Cyrl, Благовештенски сабор, Serbian Latin: ''Blagoveštenski sabor'') was a council of elected representatives of Eastern Orthodox Serbs in the Austrian Empire, which was held on 2 April 1861, in Sremski Karlovci, on the day of the church holiday of Annunciation. After the abolition of the Voivodeship of Serbia and Temes Banat (1860), political and ecclesiastical representatives of the Serbian people living in the Austrian Empire, led by patriarch Josif Rajačić, met in a council, or assembly and adopted a sixteen-point program, demanding territorial and political autonomy. They accepted the emperor's condition that all Serbian demands should be made and within political frameworks of the Kingdom of Hungary. Serbian demands were supported by imperial minister Anton von Schmerling, but remained unfulfilled.

Kingdom Of Hungary (1526–1867)
The Kingdom of Hungary between 1526 and 1867 existed as a state outside the Holy Roman Empire, but part of the lands of the Habsburg monarchy that became the Austrian Empire in 1804. After the Battle of Mohács in 1526, the country was ruled by two crowned kings ( John I and Ferdinand I). Initially, the exact territory under Habsburg rule was disputed because both rulers claimed the whole kingdom. This unsettled period lasted until 1570 when John Sigismund Zápolya (John II) abdicated as King of Hungary in Emperor Maximilian II's favor. In the early stages, the lands that were ruled by the Habsburg Hungarian kings were regarded as both the "Kingdom of Hungary" and "Royal Hungary". Royal Hungary was the symbol of the continuity of formal law after the Ottoman occupation, because it could preserve its legal traditions, but in general, it was ''de facto'' a Habsburg province.Raphael PataThe Jews of Hungary: History, Culture, Psychology Wayne State University Press, 1996, p. 153 T ...

History Of Serbia
The history of Serbia covers the historical development of Serbia and of its predecessor states, from the Early Stone Age to the present state, as well as that of the Serbian people and of the areas they ruled historically. Serbian habitation and rule has varied much through the ages, and as a result the history of Serbia is similarly elastic in what it includes. After early Slavs first appeared in the Balkans in the 6th and 7th centuries, they mixed with local Byzantine subjects, descendants of Paleo-Balkan tribes, such as the Thracian, Dacian, Roman, Illyrian and former Roman colonists. The First Serbian Principality was established in the 8th century by the Vlastimirovići dynasty ruling over modern-day Montenegro, Bosnia, Dalmatia, and Serbia. It evolved into a Grand Principality by the 11th century, and in 1217 the Kingdom and national church (Serbian Orthodox Church) were established, under the Nemanjić dynasty. In 1345 the Serbian Empire was established, spanni ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

History Of Vojvodina
Vojvodina (Serbian: Војводина or ''Vojvodina''; ; ; ; ; Rusyn: Войводина) is an autonomous province located in northern Serbia.

Romanization Of Serbian
The romanization or Latinization of Serbian is the representation of the Serbian language using Latin letters. Serbian is written in two alphabets, Serbian Cyrillic, a variation of the Cyrillic alphabet, and Gaj's Latin, or ''latinica'', a variation of the Latin alphabet. Both are widely used in Serbia. The Serbian language is thus an example of digraphia. The two alphabets are almost directly and completely interchangeable. Romanization can be done with no errors, but, due to the use of digraph (orthography), digraphs in the Latin script (due to letters "nj" (њ), "lj" (љ), and "dž" (џ)), knowledge of Serbian is sometimes required to do proper transliteration from Latin back to Cyrillic. Standard Serbian currently uses both alphabets. A survey from 2014 showed that 47% of the Serbian population favors the Latin alphabet whereas 36% favors Cyrillic; the remaining 17% preferred neither. Use of romanization Serbo-Croatian was regarded as a single language since the 1850 Vien ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
