Preface
At the end o October 2001, I attended the lecture in the magni centbuilding o Te British Empire and Commonwealth Museum1 within the Mas-ter’s program at the Department o Historical Studies at the Bristol University.Since the question o the history o British imperialism is at present politicallyexceptionally sensitive, the lecturer was prepared to answer certain questionsthat were not directly related to the collections and museum’s archives, or toits methodology diligently developed by the museum associates throughoutseveral years in an effort to establish the closest possible connections with theBristol University. Te questions put by a student rom Cyprus about the ateo the archives rom her native country and Anglo-centric perception o thehistory o the British-Cypriot connections in the and twentiethcenturies could have seemed complex, even unpleasant, but the patient lec-turer listened to them attentively and gave precise answers. He even readilyanswered the question concerning the “deadline when the archives relating to
ormer British colonies will be returned to the native countries”, even expect-ing cynical comments that ollowed because he had listed the preservation othe archive material and corresponding museum exhibits as one o the goodsides o the British imperialism. However, it seemed as i he had not expectedthe question I put. I asked him: “Why the Balkans, where Britain was pres-ent as a mistress o the Ionian Islands (1815-1864), the protecting power othe autonomous status o Serbia ( rom 1856 to 1878) and the independenceo Greece ( rom 1831), as well as the rescuer o the Ottoman Empire in 1853and 1878, that is o the region sufficiently signi cant to become eventually thecause o the First World War, has not been even symbolically represented inthe museum’s display or in its published program?”

10 Neutrality as Independence
Te answer I received was long, disconnected and could be summarizedas the de nition o the British imperialism o the century. In hisopinion, Great Britain implemented its colonial policy on the territories easto Persia (Iran) and south o Sahara. Tis was why these distant countries wereimportant or illustrating British imperial policy. My remark that the CrimeanWar (1853-1856), the biggest European con ict in the century inwhich Great Britain played an important, i not the most important role, beganin act because o the Balkans and lef the deepest impact on its political uture.I argued that the relationship o Great Britain towards the Ottoman Empire,Great Powers that threatened it and the states pretenders to its heritage was
a complex one just because the survival o the Ottoman Empire representedboth the least expensive, but the most reliable maintenance o the British pre-dominance in Asia and A rica.
Although these arguments did not suffice or the introduction o a com-pletely new concept by a prominent British museum, the act remains thatthe Crimean War, afer which Great Britain became one o the protectors oSerbia, did not draw particular attention until the present day even in ourcountry. Tis was the biggest European war in which Serbia and her people
ailed to take part. Te consequences o the Crimean War were immediately
obvious by their ar-reaching effects, but its true signi cance and impact onthe internal policy and international status o the Principality o Serbia waslong underestimated by its contemporaries and even historians. In the historicperception o the contemporaries and memories o the generations to comethis war has remained as something un nished: indecision o the official Ser-bia was considered to be the result o the crisis o the Constitutionalist regime,and the international isolation was explained by Serbia’s ailure to stand by itslong-standing ally Russia, ailing, however, to prove its loyalty to the OttomanEmpire. Te changes that took place in 1856 were seen as incidental and not
linked to the oreign political actions o Serbia. Te signi cance o the ap-pearance o Serbia on the international stage was not considered relevant, theconnection between the internal and external events during the Crimean Warwith the changes in Serbia and the ensuing re orms was almost excluded. TeCrimean War was a neglected topic in the historiography o the Modern Ser-bia, and in this topic the least attention was devoted to the relations betweenGreat Britain and Serbia, although Great Britain was the most in uential ac-tor in the European policy o that period.

Te course and the outcome o the Crimean War are thus o equal inter-est, when speaking about its in uence on the Principality o Serbia, the sameas the image o this war that developed in time. Serbia managed to preservepeace and keep her neutrality. Regardless o the act that the peace ulness andnon-commitment were, however, the result o indecision and weakness, theneutrality that Serbia was able to maintain during the war provided the periodo the greatest independence that this Principality had ever enjoyed, even withinternational recognition. In act, in the big war neutrality meant indepen-dence as well, and its maintenance opened the period that would end in inter-national recognition o sovereign Serbia in 1878.
Te historic sources o Serbian-British relations during the CrimeanWar are numerous and abundant. In addition to the report o the British Con-sul General in Serbia, as well as his correspondence with the ambassadors inConstantinople and Vienna, and the home secretary, i.e., the Foreign Officesecretary, kept in the British National Archives (Te Public Records Office,Kew), personal archives o several British politicians and diplomats, includingAberdeen, Redcliffe, Clarendon and Fonblanque are signi cant or the rela-tions o Serbia and Britain.
One o the most important problems aced by the researcher o ear-
ly diplomatic relations between Great Britain and Serbia (1837–1878) is thedisproportion between contemporary British and Serbian sources. Whilebetween one hundred and one hundred and twenty reports were dispatchedannually by the British Consulate General in Belgrade, together with specialreports (memoirs), Foreign Office instructions and consular correspondence,Serbia not only did not have a permanent representative office in London, butno more serious trace could be ound about the semi-official missions o Jo- van Marinović and Ilija Garašanin in London during these years in the undo the Ministry o Foreign Affairs (Popečiteljstvo), or in Ilija Garašanin’s2 per-
sonal les. Bearing in mind that at that time oreign policy in Serbia was de-ned by the Prince, together with his Prime Minister (the Prince’s Predstavnik)and Minister (Popečitelj) o Foreign Affairs (during the Crimean War this wasmost requently the same person), their communication with oreign consulswas mainly direct and private. Tis is probably the reason why, contrary to
2 Te exception is the letter o recommendation written by Fonblanque to Add-ington to receive Garašanin. Fonblanque to Addington, 3 June 1853, I.G. 913, AS (TeIlija Garašanin Papers, Te Archives o Serbia).

12 Neutrality as Independence
the hundreds o notes o different nature exchanged with the neighbouringAustria, it is possible to nd only about ten documents directly or indirectlyrelated to Great Britain and the British Consul General in the archives o theMinistry o Foreign Affairs. A similar situation is ound with the preservedcorrespondence o Serbian oreign policy makers. For instance, no trace couldbe ound in Konstantin Nikolajević’s papers about his contacts with Redcliffeand Colonel Rose that can be completely reconstructed by means o Britishsources contrary to Marinović’s and Garašanin’s London visits.
When speaking about contemporary newspapers, the situation is differ-ent. Quite understandably, the advantage is here on the side o Great Britain.
In the middle o the century several tens o important daily andweekly newspapers were published there: in addition toTe imes and TeIllustrated London News, with the circulation exceeding fy thousand copies,the papers such asTe Morning Herald and Te Manchester Guardian had asigni cant impact on the public in Great Britain. At that time only two news-papers were published in the Principality o Serbia –Srbske novine(Te SerbianNewspaper ) and Šumadinka, with regular but not daily editions, and their cir-culations hardly reached two thousand copies3. Srbske novine was a semi-offi-cial newspaper o the Serbian authorities, andŠumadinka, particularly afer its
banning in 1850, was coming out airly regularly (with the exception o 1853),but its political columns related to oreign policy were mostly o in ormativebut not analytical character, while hardly anything was written about the inte-rior policy. Te comparison coming to mind with the Serbian press in Austriais particularly interesting in case oSrbski dnevnik (Te Serbian Daily ) which,although very partial to Russia, was writing more reely about the situation inEurope, while analyzing committedly and in detail the internal situation in Ser-bia. However, contrary to the British papers that only occasionally and rarelywrote about Serbia as the most important topic, the Serbian papers mainly took
over the news rom Great Britain published in the Austrian and German pa-pers4. Tere ore, the news rom Great Britain seemed more like curiosities thanthe real press news.

Te world literature about the Crimean War is very abundant. Untilpresent almost ten thousand monographs and studies were published aboutthis period5. Nevertheless, prominent war historians have not specially stud-ied Serbian archives or, even more interestingly, the reports o the BritishConsul General rom Serbia. Although some historians o the Crimean War-Baumgart, Schroeder and Gold ranc rely mainly on published diplomatic ma-terial originating rom the very highest sources o European diplomacies, theydevote duti ul attention to Serbia6.
Serbian historiography wrote about the Crimean War only incidental-ly 7. Jovan Ristić, who devoted a special study to Serbia during the Crimean
War, was an exception. Nevertheless, while the Eastern Crisis rom 1853-6 re-mained in the shadow o the Great Eastern Crisis rom 1875-8 in which Ser-bia and Montenegro took direct part as well, the British policy towards Serbiain this period remained overshadowed by the relations o Serbia with Russia,Austria and, rst o all, France8. Finally, out o contemporary historians o theSerbian-British relations, only Ljubodrag Ristić paid considerably more atten-tion to the period o the Crimean War in his monograph about Serbian-Britishdiplomatic relations rom the Paris Congress to the Kanlidz Con erence9.
Te topic presented in this book has been the subject o my three-
year-long research (the period rom 2000 to the end o 2002), included in myMaster’s thesis entitledGreat Britain and Serbia at the ime of the CrimeanWar (1853-1856). I would like on this occasion to express my gratitude to my

Te second rise o British imperialism (1815-1914) was indisputably
linked with the preservation o the Ottoman Empire showing uncontainabledeclining during the entire nineteenth century 1. Te exception rom thispolicy was made only twice in the new century: during the Napoleonic warsin the beginning o the nineteenth century when the oriental policy o theFrench Empire was trying to preserve the integrity o the Ottoman possessionsin Europe, when the British diplomacy considered the possibility o dividingEuropean urkey; and afer the conclusion o the Anglo-Russian Alliance in1907, when Great Britain departed rom its most important principle o theBalkans policy until then, reduced to the maintenance o the existing state
on the peninsula at any cost2. Te Crimean War (1853-1856) represented the

mainstay o the British policy on the Balkans. Although this war was wagedonly in its rst phase (1853-1854) on the Danube, it was the rst clash in thisregion be ore the First World War in which Great Britain was directly involved.It was relatively difficult to draw London into this clash brought about by theattempts o France to break the Holy Alliance. As Lord Palmerston (HenryJohn emple Viscount Palmerston) had mentioned much earlier, the questiono the preservation o the Ottoman Empire, and thus the stri e against theRussian predominance on the Balkans and in the Near East was o decisiveeconomic interest or Great Britain. Tis is why during the Crimean WarBritain became the most irreconcilable opponent o Russia and the extreme
advocate o the need or Russia to be completely and irretrievably de eated3
.Such policy triumphed at the Paris Congress in 1856. Nevertheless, it isolatedBritain in the long run, because with the disappearance o the Holy Alliancethe possibility o Germany and Italy uni cation was opened, as well as theestablishment o Franco-Russian Alliance.
Contrary to the First World War and the Great Eastern Crisis (1875-1878) Serbia had not participated in the biggest European war o the nineteenthcentury. What was her role in the Crimean War? Historiography, both nationaland international, agreed that this small principality had had great potential
signi cance in the rst stage o the war, but that it had not ceased playing therole o a relatively powerless object in big diplomatic games accompanyingthe Russo- urkish war on the Danube. According to the generally acceptedstandpoint, even this potential role became impossible due to the inactivityo the Principality o Serbia and the act that the war was moved to the BlackSea and the Crimea at the end o 1854. Tis is why the achievements o theParis Congress, in case o Serbia, were requently considered as incidental andnot too signi cant. Still, afer the Paris peace, Serbia entered the internationalpolitical scene in a special way. Despite the act that its autonomy wasestablished through the agreement o two Great Powers which were in war orthree years (1853-1856), Serbia managed to remain neutral, and afer the warits international position was guaranteed by six Great Powers together withthe Ottoman Empire4. Te position o Serbia afer the Paris Congress and the

ensuing re orms carried out soon afer have not still been perceived by ourhistoriography as one continuing process. Te internal history o Serbia itselduring the three-year-long European war, otherwise very stormy and dynamic,was considered mainly as a unction o the country’s neutrality, which becamecertain to be maintained only at the end o the spring in 1854. Te politicaltorpor in Serbia and its leaving the centre o the European oreign politicalentanglement contributed that the rst stage o the war and Serbian role init was somewhat underrated. On the other hand, the signi cance o Serbia inthe European policy became especially evident through the prevailing belie othe Western European diplomacies and public opinion about its big military
power5
. Tis belie was dispelled by the Serbian inactivity, but not to such anextent as later de eat in the First Serbian- urkish war in 1876.It may be said that the attitude o Great Britain towards Serbia in this
period was more an indicative than in the case o the policy o OttomanEmpire, Russia or Austria. Namely, Great Britain had no direct interests inSerbia. It is logical, however, as central interests o its world policy were linkedto the Ottoman Empire and Russia, that the role o Serbia extremely gainedin signi cance. Afer two decades the British policy in the eld ormed byconsul generals in Serbia, mainly without major impact on the British policy
and underrated in Serbia, and on the other side, in uential chance travelers orwhom this small principality was only one o the stops on the way, reached itsrst big international test in 1853. We speak here about the ormative period
o the British policy towards Serbia, in which it is possible to perceive all itsdimensions in the orthcoming six decades.
Great Britain established diplomatic relations with Serbia on the 5th oJune 1837, when the rst British Consul General, Colonel Hodges (GeorgeLloyd Hodges) handed over his letter o credence to Prince Miloš afer hisarrival to Kragujevac6. With the arrival o oreign diplomatic representatives

to Serbia at the end o the thirties in the nineteenth century, the autonomousstatus o the Principality officially established by Hati-sheriffs rom 1830, 1833and 1838 received another international con rmation. British policy aimed tostrengthen Serbian independence against the all-power ul Russian protectorate.One o the important inspirers was in uential David Urquhart, one o the mostprominent advocates o the anti-Russian policy in Great Britain, who visitedSerbia in different capacities even in our missions in the period rom 1832 to1837.7 Urquhart was very well-versed in the Serbian circumstances, and he waspersonally acquainted with Prince Miloš and other Serbian leaders. In act, hewas the one to initiate, relying on his own rich experience, the appointment
o the rst Consul General or Serbia. In addition to energetic Urquhart, theBritish government and the public were signi cantly in uenced by the Polishemigration headed by Prince Adam Czartoryski, who in the emancipation othe Southern Slavs saw the way or the liberation o their homeland8.
Te instructions given to Hodges were still very moderate, entrustinghim with two important goals: one was o the economic, and the othero political nature. Te political in uence o Britain in Serbia could not beachieved, naturally, in the way in which Russia, Austria or Ottoman Empirewere implementing their predomination. “Te boats”, as several decades later
7 David Urquhart (1805–1877) was the British politican, diplomat and politicalwriter. He participated in the Greek War or Independence and two political missionsin Constantinople in 1831 and 1833. He was the member o the British Parliament
rom 1847 to 1852, opposing the oreign policy o Great Britain, and particularlyPalmetstone‘s and Redcliffe‘s actions. Distinguished historians (M. Ekmečić,Stvaranje Jugoslavije, /In Serbian:Creation of Yugoslavia/ , Belgrade, 1989, p. 473) ascribe greatin uence to him on the preparation oNačertanije (1844). It is, however, evidentthat at the end o the Crimean War he advocated a very conservative and restrictiveemancipation o Wallachia and Moldavia, thus leading to the conclusion that he did notsupport the national principle any more in solving the question o Serbia. D. Urquhart,”Is Mr. Urquhart A ory or A Radical. Answered by his Constitution or the DanubianProvinces“ (int. W. Cyples),Political racts 1712–1856 , Sheffield, 1856, pp. 1–13.
8 From 1834 to 1846 Urquhart and Czartoryski published the journal ”Port olio“,devoting a signi cant place to the question o the British policy towards Serbia (M.Ekmečić, p. 224). Te great difference in the approach o these two politicans whowere only temporarily on the same side is, however, neglected. While Urquhart wasprepared to ght or warding off the Russian imperialism or the sake o the survivalo the ”Bosphorus patient“, the all o the Russian Empire at the cost o the OttomanEmpire all did not, obviously, t into his plans.

Ilija Garašanin remarked, “could not travel on dry land”, and that is why the justawakened interest or Serbia could primarily be o economic character9. Telack o roads and the distance between two countries made this task difficultto achieve, and slowed its attainment. Hodges could work on suppression othe Russian in uence only in coalition with other powers, but still, rom thebeginning he had not only ailed to bring together his modest power withthem, but also allowed them to get united against him. He had no better luckin selecting the allies in the Principality itsel , so during the con ict o PrinceMiloš and the Constitutionalist opposition he sided with the politically moreand more isolated Serbian monarch10. Hodges’s support only led Prince Miloš
to get unrealistic expectations. Official Britain used to prompt him in turnsto enter the open con ict with the Russian diplomacy, only to discourage himlater and to withdraw itsel . Owing to his close relationship with the BritishConsul Prince Miloš was ready to believe that he would get sufficient supportto resist Russia, and even certain concessions rom the Porte. Constitution,the issue about which all political interests and con icts in Serbia started toclash rom 1835 onwards, also brought together the Prince and the Britishdiplomacy on the same side. Great Britain, however, although advising theSerbian ruler to remain rm, took care not to spoil its relations with Russia.
Te Prince’s de eat nally and completely exposed this double game, arousingbitterness and compromising Hodges so much that his stay in Belgrade wasnot possible any more. In May 1839, having stayed in Belgrade or exactlytwo years and only several months afer passing o the urkish constitution,the British Consul General moved to Zemun. Such an outcome o the rstBritish mission had a very great impact on the uture reputation and in uenceo the British diplomacy in Serbia. Until his death Prince Miloš believed thatunreliable British assistance brought about his deposal in 183911. Te Britishpolicy towards Serbia was seriously criticized in the British Parliament itsel ,
and almost two decades later Hodges’s successor to the position o the ConsulGeneral wrote how since Hodges’s departure Britain was not inter ering with

the Serbian internal policy, except in principle12. It may be nally said that thegreatest mistake o the rst British Consul General was really the convictionthat oreign policy was o prevailing interest to the Serbian policy makers aswell. Tis was why he believed that it was possible to reach a compromisepattern o the constitutional system in Serbia, leaving absolute power to theruler, while the Constitutionalists could be satis ed by a guarantee o the basiccivil rights13.

Tomas Grenier de Fonblanque arrived to Belgrade, even eightmonths afer his appointment as head the British Consulate in Serbia (on the21st o August 1841). It seems that the British diplomacy by its very choice andinstructions attempted to stay out o the turbulent events that were shakingSerbia at that time14. In September 1842 Vučić’s uprising took place, PrinceMihailo was dethroned, and the Constitutionalists and Prince AleksandarKaradjordjević came to power. Fonblanque remained at the post o the ConsulGeneral in Serbia longer than all his successors. His eighteen-year-longservice in Belgrade had no match in the length o the mandate o any other
oreign consul staying in Serbia during the nineteenth century. Nevertheless,it might be said that Fonblanque’s personality and work, despite the act thatthe continuity o his long lasting activities could be very precisely ollowed inavailable sources, remained controversial and enigmatic. As Fonblanque wasat the post o the Consul General in Serbia during the Crimean War, it was in
act during his mandate that Great Britain, now together with France, obtainedagain a signi cant in uence on the Serbian policy, so that on this occasionsomething more should be written about this interesting historical personality,

whose character overshadowed his own work, at least when speaking aboutthe image prevailing in later historiography.

It would not be too strong to say that rom the very beginning Serbiadid not much attract Fonblanque. Te population he met there was o differentculture and the mentality he could not stand. Te politicians he was in contactwith were mostly loathsome to him. Te Princes Mihailo and Aleksandarseemed to him as sheer puppets: the ormer was in the power o the RussianConsul Veščenko, while not only the Russian and Austrian diplomacies werecompeting who would gain the power over the latter, but also the ractionso the quarrelling Constitutionalist oligarchy. Burdened with Hodges’s legacyFonblanque was also dissatis ed with the weak British in uence and hislow income which made him considerably lag behind his colleagues, even
at the time when he became the doyen o the small diplomatic corps in thePrincipality.18 Tere were another two important turning points Fonblanqueexperienced during the orties in the nineteenth century, that nally modelledhis negative attitude towards Serbia and the Serbian people. First o all, he gotdysentery rom which he was treated and recovering in Zemun, having lef theConsulate building in Belgrade or quite some time. Later on the 1848-1849Hungarian Revolution took place in which the Serbs in Southern Hungary,with abundant help rom the official Serbia and its volunteers, ought againstthe Hungarians, the British avorites. Many years later Fonblanque wrote
with disgust about riotous Serbian volunteers everybody eared, even theirellow Serbs rom Austria. I Fonblanque had to seriously accuse any Serbianpolitician, this had to be unavoidably corroborated by the participation o thesame in the Hungarian war.19 Tere is not much written in historiography
18 Fonblanque‘s annual salary amounted to 800 pounds sterling, allocating him156 pounds or expenses. In total, the above sum was higher than the average salaryo the state counselor in the Principality o Serbia (i.e., 4,780 thalers in comparisonwith the counselor‘s salary o 2,500 thalers). Te British Consul, however, laggedbehind the remuneration received by the Belgrade Pasha amounting to 12,000 ducats,i.e., 5,000 pounds sterling, or Ilija Garašanin‘s property, estimated at 2,000 pounds.Fonblanque was constantly dissatis ed with his pay, stating that he was the least paido other oreign consuls, and that his salary was smaller than the pay received by someSerbian politicians. It is true that Fonblanque‘s budget in 1855 was or more than onethird smaller than the total sum o his actual expenses in Belgrade.

about his role in those events. However, several years later he was personallyboasting about giving shelter to Laiosh Kossuth himsel , the leader o theHungarian Revolution, when running away rom the Austrian retaliationacross the Serbian territory.20 Te proud British consul claimed that theofficial Austria had never orgiven him or the role he played, so that even theAustrian emperor Franz Joseph I when travelling by boat on the Danube in1852, personally orbade the crew o his ship to return the honours the British
ag, under which Kossuth’s rescuer de antly stood.21 It is quite understandable that the legacy could not have been
responsible or everything. Fonblanque was truly a very difficult person.
Despite their continuous cooperation Garašanin himsel described him onceas “a completely crazy person”.22 Te British Consul General was requentlythe victim o circumstances in Serbia. Tus in 1851 he came into con ictwith the Serbian authorities because the gathered mob stoned the BritishConsulate and burnt the hoisted British ag in ront o it. Te reason was thathe had omitted to have the building illuminated on the occasion o PrinceAleksandar’s birthday. Te Serbian government nally apologized and eventook over certain obligations concerning the construction o roads in order toexpand the modest British trade in Serbia. However, when at last, two years
later certain British investments were made in Serbia (the Woodword companyintended to invest several thousand pounds into the pork processing), anunpleasant disagreement occurred with the contractors, in which Fonblanquehimsel had to take part.23 Te misunderstandings between the British Consul

General and his surroundings got in the end a ate ul turn. In May 1858, whilecarelessly walking he was attacked by the urkish guards and the injurieshe sustained had lethal consequences.24 But Fonblanque was not always theinnocent victim in his complex relations with the Serbs and the urks. Duringone minor traffic accident he beat up the incautious coachman and his almostthree times younger passenger. Te injured party sued him, but without muchsuccess as the Serbian authorities took trouble not to antagonize Great Britaineven when quite banal issue was in question.25
Tis was, however, only one side o the British Consul General’spersonality. Although he despised Serbian politicians, he remained in sincere
riendship with Ilija Garašanin or a long time. It is true that Garašaninsometimes used to talk un avourably about him, but even during the greatestcrises such a negative attitude was not mutual.26
He was denying the Serbian people many qualities that any civilizedpeople should have, but requently this was not made in ill will. Despite the
act that during almost two decades o living in Serbia he did not learn to speakthe Serbian language, Fonblanque showed a great interest in its circumstancesas can be proved by this excerpt:

implicates great mortality amongst Females. Tis is not an opportunemoment or me to indulge in speculations about the ate o Servia; butI may perhaps be allowed to admit a belie o my having established thelemma o its’ anticipation or sel – (that is, or national) government, andto assert, as a corollary–that no social amelioration – in ne, no redemption

He showed the similar insight in the beginning o December 1854 whenhe described in his report to Redcliffe the strange persistence o the Serbianauthorities to install the telegraph through Serbia on their own. He argued thatthey were not able or willing to build a road rom the City o Belgrade to vemiles distant opčider, concluding that “the avourite rule with Serbs is to startbuilding the house rom the roo ”.28
In addition to this, Fonblanque was acquainted with the nationalaspirations o Serbia. He was one o the rare oreign diplomats who anticipatedthe signi cant role Serbia would play in the uture, particularly in relation touniting o the Southern Slavs.29 Fonblanque’s proposals or the constitutionalre orm o Serbia in the orthcoming decades proved as an excellent anticipationo the Serbian institutions evolution. Even when dealing with the economic
uture o the Principality, his estimate that the only pro table export articlewould, actually, be the export o pork has proved to be correct.30 Fonblanque’sobservations were as much as interesting as daring, and probably there orewere not well received by the Foreign Office. He proposed the constitutionaland state re orms in Serbia under the British protectorate, his own concept othe re orm o the Ottoman Empire by asymmetric ederalization, as well as acompletely new presentation o the British economy in Serbia. Despite all hisefforts, the proposals he kept sending contained, however, a great immediaterisk, and even greater and more uncertain long-term effects. Unable to obtain

long-term gains at the least possible risk, the practical British oreign policymakers opted or, as a rule, small risks and immediate effects.
Te attention should also be paid here to the nature o the British-Serbian diplomatic relations during the fies o the nineteenth century. Atthat time Serbia, alongside with some German countries and Switzerland, wasone o the rare landlocked European countries. In addition to this, it was notindependent, and the land communications were, as seen, very bad. In themiddle o the nineteenth century the population o London itsel , or instance,two and a hal times exceeded the total population o the Principality oSerbia while, according to some statistics, as much as six million people wereinvolved in commerce in Great Britain.31 Teir institutions greatly differedas well. Great Britain was the centre o the European liberalism, and theparliamentary principle was so strong that already or one century the cabinetsdepended on the parliamentary majority in the Westminster Palace. Te roleo citizens was not only expanded in state governing in 1832, but actually thetime o the Crimean War brought about its new triumph, because or the rsttime in history, the pressure o the public opinion caused the down all o oneCabinet.32
Te diplomacy was somewhat more conservative in relation to the otherBritish state institutions. During the Crimean War it acted in the orm alreadyestablished in the eighteenth century. Closed and oligarchic by nature, duringthe nineteenth century it started only gradually to become pro essionalized,but only to a limited extent.33 In the nineteenth century Serbia belonged rstto the Southern, and later to the Eastern Foreign Office Department.34 At thattime Great Britain maintained diplomatic relations at the rank o ambassadorwith six European powers only: France, Spain, Russia, Austria, Prussia and theOttoman Empire. In about some other twenty countries in the world consideredindependent at the time, Great Britain was represented by the rank o a ministeror the minister extraordinary and envoy plenipotentiary, while it had generalconsuls or general agents in the countries such as Serbia.

general agent in Serbia, but notwithstanding all his attempts to get at leastone (regional) consulate opened in the Lower Danube region (with the seatin Smederevo), not only that had been unsuccess ul, but in his opinion hewas ranked a step lower in the Foreign Office hierarchy in comparison to hisBelgrade colleagues rom other countries.35 A comparatively small signi cancethe Principality o Serbia had enjoyed in the British plans until 1853 resultedin its policy towards the Principality being essentially determined by thegeneral policy towards the Ottoman Empire. As we have seen, this policy didnot basically change since 1815, although it could be said that despite enteringinto the war with Russia, Aberdeen’s Cabinet (George Hamilton Gordon
Earl o Aberdeen) was much less disposed against Russia than in the caseo Palmerston’s Cabinet to succeed him in 1855. Te changes in the Britishpolicy towards the Ottoman Empire had almost no effect on its policy towardsSerbia. Serbia was hardly ever mentioned in the Parliament during the war,and no document exclusively related to it was ound in Aberdeen’s papers.Te policy towards Serbia was essentially de ned by the British Ambassadorin Constantinople, Sir Strat ord de Redcliffe and Fonblanque, with the nalapproval o Lord Clarendon (Clarendon, George William Frederick Villiers, 4th earl o ), the State Secretary (Minister o Foreign Affairs) in Aberdeen’s Cabinet.
A closer circle o Aberdeen’s Cabinet, determined much more important Britishpolicy issues in the war whereas the issues such as the Serbian one were mainlywithin the State Secretary’s complete competence.36
During this time Serbia was ruled by the Prince and the State Council inaccordance with the urkish Constitution which, as Slobodan Jovanović veryprecisely observed, was written more to restrict the ruler than to provide validadministration to the state.37 While the ruler was made unable to per orm bothby the letter o the Constitution and the act that Porte had not recognized theright to title succession o the Karadjordjević amily, the State Council was
increasingly losing touch with the people thus becoming not only oligarchicbut a closed bureaucratic institution as well. Serbia was thus under the great

and he remained there or one year only, maintaining regular contacts withthe French and British Ministries o Foreign Affairs.38 Aleksa Janković waslater sent to Vienna with a similar task.39 Although Serbia was ofen underthe prevailing in uence o Russia during the Crimean War, mainly Russiandiplomats used to come to Serbia (Fonton, Mouchin, Popov and others).Anastas Nikolić’s mission dispatched to the Russian General Headquarters inWallachia, remained a rather isolated case o direct diplomatic activity o theofficial Serbia in this respect.40 Contrary to other Great Powers which senttheir special envoys to Serbia, particularly in the period o the great crisis romthe summer 1853 to the spring o 1854, Great Britain did not send additional
diplomats in Serbia.41
Fonblanque was the highest diplomatic representative o Great Britainduring the Crimean War. In Serbia, in addition to the Prince, his Prime Minister(Predstavnik) was in charge o the oreign policy, who also carried out theduty o the Minister o Foreign Affairs (Popečitelj). Apart rom these two men,Fonblanque maintained contacts with several members o the State Council,although this institution had not the mandate or oreign policy affairs. TeBritish Consul General even claimed that he had to be given credit or admittingto the State Council our members partial to Great Britain and France afer1851. Still, it could be said that the majority o Serbian politicians he cooperatedwith had cold, probably even hostile relations with him. We have seen how heconsidered the Prince to be a weak and extremely unreliable person. In severalinstances he even claimed that his deposal was a prerequisite or the progresso Serbia.

He shrank rom the Austrophiles, particularlyafer 1848, but he remained in regular connections with them. Except romGarašanin, he did not deem it necessary to say a good word about the Prince’sPrime Ministers until the end o the Crimean War. Avram Petronijević,Constitutionalist leader, in uential and relatively independent was, accordingto him, an irreconcilable opponent o the West and incorrigible demagogue,Aleksa Simić – a Russophile and accomplice in the ruler’s incapacity, AleksaJanković – Austrophile who, bribed by his appointment or the Prime Ministercompletely changed his political attitude.42 Garašanin had personally goodrelations with him, primarily because o the political orientation he adoptedafer his visit to Paris in 1852 and the unswervigness he showed as one o the
rst victims o Menshikov’s mission already in March 1853. In addition totheir political similarity which was probably the greatest in the period rom1852 to 1858, one cannot neglect the impact o the act that Fonblanque andGarašanin were able to communicate without any bigger problems in theGerman language which apparently the British Consul General spoke betterthan the French language.43 Although language barriers were not important orFonblanque in general, as the politicians he communicated with were speakingone o the European languages, the lack o knowledge o the Serbian languageisolated him a lot.

greater number o Serbian politicians, it is possible to recognize the makers othe British-Serbian relations during the Crimean War.
Te study o the relations between Great Britain and Serbia during theCrimean War obviously deserves a special attention or many reasons. It hasbeen mentioned that during the entire nineteenth century London showedmuch greater interest or the circumstances in Serbia only during the CrimeanWar (1853-1856) and Great Eastern Crisis (1875-1878). But while during the
Great Eastern Crisis Great Britain was negatively disposed towards Serbiarom the beginning and had no direct military participation in the crisis, theconditions were basically different during the Crimean War. Te interests GreatBritain had or Serbia were two old. Te attitude o Serbia should without ail,according to the British belie , de ne the position o all Balkan Christians,and particularly South Slavs. On the other hand, the total number o British

soldiers submitted to the Parliament in the summer o 1854 amounted to183,000, together with the troops in the colonies. Only 30,000 British soldierswere, however, sent to the East.45 By the end o 1853 the estimates o thenumber o the Serbian armed troops, reaching the British public, were in therange o sixty to eighty thousand soldiers. Although these estimates were laterdenied both by the diplomats and observers, as well as by the official Serbia,they ascribed it great signi cance at the climax o the crisis in 1853-1854. Later,particularly in the beginning o 1856, Serbia remained completely neglectedin the plans o Great Britain and Western allies. Te re orm o the OttomanEmpire was carried out without visible connection with the re orms o the
Danube principalities and Serbia which, notwithstanding, took place. Tereasons or such a policy o Great Britain and its allies were disregarded inthe historiography until present, exactly because o the prevailing belie thatlimited Russo- urkish war on the Danube showed not only the weakness oRussia but also the small signi cance o the Balkans in the orthcoming con ict.Te impact o the decisions o the Paris Congress on urther developmento political circumstances and the determination o the status o Serbia wasunderestimated owing to the inappropriate comparison o Serbia with theDanube principalities and Piedmont. Te study that ollows is an analysis o
chronologically presented British-Serbian diplomatic relations, with specialtopical reviews o their important segments which have not even until presentdrawn the attention o the historians.
