Preface

At the end of October 2001, I attended the lecture in the magnificent building of The British Empire and Commonwealth Museum1 within the Master’s program at the Department of Historical Studies at the Bristol University. Since the question of the history of British imperialism is at present politically exceptionally sensitive, the lecturer was prepared to answer certain questions that were not directly related to the collections and museum’s archives, or to its methodology diligently developed by the museum associates throughout several years in an effort to establish the closest possible connections with the Bristol University. The questions put by a student from Cyprus about the fate of the archives from her native country and Anglo-centric perception of the history of the British-Cypriot connections in the VQVM\MMV\P and twentieth centuries could have seemed complex, even unpleasant, but the patient lecturer listened to them attentively and gave precise answers. He even readily answered the question concerning the “deadline when the archives relating to former British colonies will be returned to the native countries”, even expecting cynical comments that followed because he had listed the preservation of the archive material and corresponding museum exhibits as one of the good sides of the British imperialism. However, it seemed as if he had not expected the question I put. I asked him: “Why the Balkans, where Britain was present as a mistress of the Ionian Islands (1815-1864), the protecting power of the autonomous status of Serbia (from 1856 to 1878) and the independence of Greece (from 1831), as well as the rescuer of the Ottoman Empire in 1853 and 1878, that is of the region sufficiently significant to become eventually the cause of the First World War, has not been even symbolically represented in the museum’s display or in its published program?” 1

It refers to the course Themes in Contemporary History.

Neutrality as Independence

The answer I received was long, disconnected and could be summarized as the definition of the British imperialism of the VQVM\MMV\P century. In his opinion, Great Britain implemented its colonial policy on the territories east of Persia (Iran) and south of Sahara. This was why these distant countries were important for illustrating British imperial policy. My remark that the Crimean War (1853-1856), the biggest European conflict in the VQVM\MMV\P century in which Great Britain played an important, if not the most important role, began in fact because of the Balkans and left the deepest impact on its political future. I argued that the relationship of 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 of the Ottoman Empire represented both the least expensive, but the most reliable maintenance of the British predominance in Asia and Africa. Although these arguments did not suffice for the introduction of a completely new concept by a prominent British museum, the fact remains that the Crimean War, after which Great Britain became one of the protectors of Serbia, did not draw particular attention until the present day even in our country. This was the biggest European war in which Serbia and her people failed to take part. The consequences of the Crimean War were immediately obvious by their far-reaching effects, but its true significance and impact on the internal policy and international status of the Principality of Serbia was long underestimated by its contemporaries and even historians. In the historic perception of the contemporaries and memories of the generations to come this war has remained as something unfinished: indecision of the official Serbia was considered to be the result of the crisis of the Constitutionalist regime, and the international isolation was explained by Serbia’s failure to stand by its long-standing ally Russia, failing, however, to prove its loyalty to the Ottoman Empire. The changes that took place in 1856 were seen as incidental and not linked to the foreign political actions of Serbia. The significance of the appearance of Serbia on the international stage was not considered relevant, the connection between the internal and external events during the Crimean War with the changes in Serbia and the ensuing reforms was almost excluded. The Crimean War was a neglected topic in the historiography of the Modern Serbia, and in this topic the least attention was devoted to the relations between Great Britain and Serbia, although Great Britain was the most influential factor in the European policy of that period.

The course and the outcome of the Crimean War are thus of equal interest, when speaking about its influence on the Principality of Serbia, the same as the image of this war that developed in time. Serbia managed to preserve peace and keep her neutrality. Regardless of the fact that the peacefulness and non-commitment were, however, the result of indecision and weakness, the neutrality that Serbia was able to maintain during the war provided the period of the greatest independence that this Principality had ever enjoyed, even with international recognition. In fact, in the big war neutrality meant independence as well, and its maintenance opened the period that would end in international recognition of sovereign Serbia in 1878. The historic sources of Serbian-British relations during the Crimean War are numerous and abundant. In addition to the report of the British Consul General in Serbia, as well as his correspondence with the ambassadors in Constantinople and Vienna, and the home secretary, i.e., the Foreign Office secretary, kept in the British National Archives (The Public Records Office, Kew), personal archives of several British politicians and diplomats, including Aberdeen, Redcliffe, Clarendon and Fonblanque are significant for the relations of Serbia and Britain. One of the most important problems faced by the researcher of early diplomatic relations between Great Britain and Serbia (1837–1878) is the disproportion between contemporary British and Serbian sources. While between one hundred and one hundred and twenty reports were dispatched annually by the British Consulate General in Belgrade, together with special reports (memoirs), Foreign Office instructions and consular correspondence, Serbia not only did not have a permanent representative office in London, but no more serious trace could be found about the semi-official missions of Jovan Marinović and Ilija Garašanin in London during these years in the fund of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Popečiteljstvo), or in Ilija Garašanin’s2 personal files. Bearing in mind that at that time foreign policy in Serbia was defined by the Prince, together with his Prime Minister (the Prince’s Predstavnik) and Minister (Popečitelj) of Foreign Affairs (during the Crimean War this was most frequently the same person), their communication with foreign consuls was mainly direct and private. This is probably the reason why, contrary to 2

the hundreds of notes of different nature exchanged with the neighbouring Austria, it is possible to find only about ten documents directly or indirectly related to Great Britain and the British Consul General in the archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A similar situation is found with the preserved correspondence of Serbian foreign policy makers. For instance, no trace could be found in Konstantin Nikolajević’s papers about his contacts with Redcliffe and Colonel Rose that can be completely reconstructed by means of British sources contrary to Marinović’s and Garašanin’s London visits. When speaking about contemporary newspapers, the situation is different. Quite understandably, the advantage is here on the side of Great Britain. In the middle of the VQVM\MMV\P century several tens of important daily and weekly newspapers were published there: in addition to The Times and The Illustrated London News, with the circulation exceeding fifty thousand copies, the papers such as The Morning Herald and The Manchester Guardian had a significant impact on the public in Great Britain. At that time only two newspapers were published in the Principality of Serbia – Srbske novine (The Serbian Newspaper) and Šumadinka, with regular but not daily editions, and their circulations hardly reached two thousand copies3. Srbske novine was a semi-official newspaper of the Serbian authorities, and Šumadinka, particularly after its banning in 1850, was coming out fairly regularly (with the exception of 1853), but its political columns related to foreign policy were mostly of informative but not analytical character, while hardly anything was written about the interior policy. The comparison coming to mind with the Serbian press in Austria is particularly interesting in case of Srbski dnevnik (The Serbian Daily) which, although very partial to Russia, was writing more freely about the situation in Europe, while analyzing committedly and in detail the internal situation in Serbia. However, contrary to the British papers that only occasionally and rarely wrote about Serbia as the most important topic, the Serbian papers mainly took over the news from Great Britain published in the Austrian and German papers4. Therefore, the news from Great Britain seemed more like curiosities than the real press news.

The world literature about the Crimean War is very abundant. Until present almost ten thousand monographs and studies were published about this period5. Nevertheless, prominent war historians have not specially studied Serbian archives or, even more interestingly, the reports of the British Consul General from Serbia. Although some historians of the Crimean War -Baumgart, Schroeder and Goldfranc rely mainly on published diplomatic material originating from the very highest sources of European diplomacies, they devote dutiful attention to Serbia6. Serbian historiography wrote about the Crimean War only incidental7 ly . Jovan Ristić, who devoted a special study to Serbia during the Crimean War, was an exception. Nevertheless, while the Eastern Crisis from 1853-6 remained in the shadow of the Great Eastern Crisis from 1875-8 in which Serbia and Montenegro took direct part as well, the British policy towards Serbia in this period remained overshadowed by the relations of Serbia with Russia, Austria and, first of all, France8. Finally, out of contemporary historians of the Serbian-British relations, only Ljubodrag Ristić paid considerably more attention to the period of the Crimean War in his monograph about Serbian-British diplomatic relations from the Paris Congress to the Kanlidz Conference9. The topic presented in this book has been the subject of my threeyear-long research (the period from 2000 to the end of 2002), included in my Master’s thesis entitled Great Britain and Serbia at the Time of the Crimean War (1853-1856). I would like on this occasion to express my gratitude to my

CHAPTER ONE

SERBIA AND GREAT BRITAIN BEFORE THE CRIMEAN WAR (DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS MAKERS)

“Brothers! England is strong and mighty; its Consul is greater and more important than the Prince of Serbia; England will be not against the Serbian people, but against its government (Praviteljstvo), so the emperors of Russia, our protector and our Turkish Suzerain will help it, so, my brothers we are nothing and these Austrian Serbs (Nemačkari) and Nenadovićs would like to make a kingdom out of Serbia.” Ilija Garašanin predicting Vučić’s opinion during the crisis in the relations between Great Britain and Serbia in 1850 (AS,IG,672)

The second rise of British imperialism (1815-1914) was indisputably linked with the preservation of the Ottoman Empire showing uncontainable declining during the entire nineteenth century1. The exception from this policy was made only twice in the new century: during the Napoleonic wars in the beginning of the nineteenth century when the oriental policy of the French Empire was trying to preserve the integrity of the Ottoman possessions in Europe, when the British diplomacy considered the possibility of dividing European Turkey; and after the conclusion of the Anglo-Russian Alliance in 1907, when Great Britain departed from its most important principle of the Balkans policy until then, reduced to the maintenance of the existing state on the peninsula at any cost2. The Crimean War (1853-1856) represented the 1

Until 1850 even one half of the Sultan‘s subjects lived in the European regions of the Ottoman Empire, although on a significantly smaller territory than the Sultan‘s possessions in Asia and Africa. The Ottoman Empire was involved in forty three wars in the period from 1463 to 1918, out of which even thirty one war was led with different European states. D.

mainstay of the British policy on the Balkans. Although this war was waged only in its first phase (1853-1854) on the Danube, it was the first clash in this region before the First World War in which Great Britain was directly involved. It was relatively difficult to draw London into this clash brought about by the attempts of France to break the Holy Alliance. As Lord Palmerston (Henry John Temple Viscount Palmerston) had mentioned much earlier, the question of the preservation of the Ottoman Empire, and thus the strife against the Russian predominance on the Balkans and in the Near East was of decisive economic interest for Great Britain. This is why during the Crimean War Britain became the most irreconcilable opponent of Russia and the extreme advocate of the need for Russia to be completely and irretrievably defeated3. Such policy triumphed at the Paris Congress in 1856. Nevertheless, it isolated Britain in the long run, because with the disappearance of the Holy Alliance the possibility of Germany and Italy unification was opened, as well as the establishment of Franco-Russian Alliance. Contrary to the First World War and the Great Eastern Crisis (18751878) Serbia had not participated in the biggest European war of the nineteenth century. What was her role in the Crimean War? Historiography, both national and international, agreed that this small principality had had great potential significance in the first stage of the war, but that it had not ceased playing the role of a relatively powerless object in big diplomatic games accompanying the Russo-Turkish war on the Danube. According to the generally accepted standpoint, even this potential role became impossible due to the inactivity of the Principality of Serbia and the fact that the war was moved to the Black Sea and the Crimea at the end of 1854. This is why the achievements of the Paris Congress, in case of Serbia, were frequently considered as incidental and not too significant. Still, after the Paris peace, Serbia entered the international political scene in a special way. Despite the fact that its autonomy was established through the agreement of two Great Powers which were in war for three years (1853-1856), Serbia managed to remain neutral, and after the war its international position was guaranteed by six Great Powers together with the Ottoman Empire4. The position of Serbia after the Paris Congress and the 3

ensuing reforms carried out soon after have not still been perceived by our historiography as one continuing process. The internal history of Serbia itself during the three-year-long European war, otherwise very stormy and dynamic, was considered mainly as a function of the country’s neutrality, which became certain to be maintained only at the end of the spring in 1854. The political torpor in Serbia and its leaving the centre of the European foreign political entanglement contributed that the first stage of the war and Serbian role in it was somewhat underrated. On the other hand, the significance of Serbia in the European policy became especially evident through the prevailing belief of the Western European diplomacies and public opinion about its big military power5. This belief was dispelled by the Serbian inactivity, but not to such an extent as later defeat in the First Serbian-Turkish war in 1876. It may be said that the attitude of Great Britain towards Serbia in this period was more an indicative than in the case of the policy of Ottoman Empire, Russia or Austria. Namely, Great Britain had no direct interests in Serbia. It is logical, however, as central interests of its world policy were linked to the Ottoman Empire and Russia, that the role of Serbia extremely gained in significance. After two decades the British policy in the field formed by consul generals in Serbia, mainly without major impact on the British policy and underrated in Serbia, and on the other side, influential chance travelers for whom this small principality was only one of the stops on the way, reached its first big international test in 1853. We speak here about the formative period of the British policy towards Serbia, in which it is possible to perceive all its dimensions in the forthcoming six decades. Great Britain established diplomatic relations with Serbia on the 5th of June 1837, when the first British Consul General, Colonel Hodges (George Lloyd Hodges) handed over his letter of credence to Prince Miloš after his arrival to Kragujevac6. With the arrival of foreign diplomatic representatives 5

to Serbia at the end of the thirties in the nineteenth century, the autonomous status of the Principality officially established by Hati-sheriffs from 1830, 1833 and 1838 received another international confirmation. British policy aimed to strengthen Serbian independence against the all-powerful Russian protectorate. One of the important inspirers was influential David Urquhart, one of the most prominent advocates of the anti-Russian policy in Great Britain, who visited Serbia in different capacities even in four missions in the period from 1832 to 1837.7 Urquhart was very well-versed in the Serbian circumstances, and he was personally acquainted with Prince Miloš and other Serbian leaders. In fact, he was the one to initiate, relying on his own rich experience, the appointment of the first Consul General for Serbia. In addition to energetic Urquhart, the British government and the public were significantly influenced by the Polish emigration headed by Prince Adam Czartoryski, who in the emancipation of the Southern Slavs saw the way for the liberation of their homeland8. The instructions given to Hodges were still very moderate, entrusting him with two important goals: one was of the economic, and the other of political nature. The political influence of Britain in Serbia could not be achieved, naturally, in the way in which Russia, Austria or Ottoman Empire were implementing their predomination. “The boats”, as several decades later

David Urquhart (1805–1877) was the British politican, diplomat and political writer. He participated in the Greek War for Independence and two political missions in Constantinople in 1831 and 1833. He was the member of the British Parliament from 1847 to 1852, opposing the foreign policy of Great Britain, and particularly Palmetstone‘s and Redcliffe‘s actions. Distinguished historians (M. Ekmečić, Stvaranje Jugoslavije, /In Serbian: Creation of Yugoslavia/, Belgrade, 1989, p. 473) ascribe great influence to him on the preparation of Načertanije (1844). It is, however, evident that at the end of the Crimean War he advocated a very conservative and restrictive emancipation of Wallachia and Moldavia, thus leading to the conclusion that he did not support the national principle any more in solving the question of Serbia. D. Urquhart, ”Is Mr. Urquhart A Tory or A Radical. Answered by his Constitution for the Danubian Provinces“ (int. W. Cyples), Political Tracts 1712–1856, Sheffield, 1856, pp. 1–13. 8 From 1834 to 1846 Urquhart and Czartoryski published the journal ”Portfolio“, devoting a significant place to the question of the British policy towards Serbia (M. Ekmečić, p. 224). The great difference in the approach of these two politicans who were only temporarily on the same side is, however, neglected. While Urquhart was prepared to fight for warding off the Russian imperialism for the sake of the survival of the ”Bosphorus patient“, the fall of the Russian Empire at the cost of the Ottoman Empire fall did not, obviously, fit into his plans.

Ilija Garašanin remarked, “could not travel on dry land”, and that is why the just awakened interest for Serbia could primarily be of economic character9. The lack of roads and the distance between two countries made this task difficult to achieve, and slowed its attainment. Hodges could work on suppression of the Russian influence only in coalition with other powers, but still, from the beginning he had not only failed to bring together his modest power with them, but also allowed them to get united against him. He had no better luck in selecting the allies in the Principality itself, so during the conflict of Prince Miloš and the Constitutionalist opposition he sided with the politically more and more isolated Serbian monarch10. Hodges’s support only led Prince Miloš to get unrealistic expectations. Official Britain used to prompt him in turns to enter the open conflict with the Russian diplomacy, only to discourage him later and to withdraw itself. Owing to his close relationship with the British Consul Prince Miloš was ready to believe that he would get sufficient support to resist Russia, and even certain concessions from the Porte. Constitution, the issue about which all political interests and conflicts in Serbia started to clash from 1835 onwards, also brought together the Prince and the British diplomacy on the same side. Great Britain, however, although advising the Serbian ruler to remain firm, took care not to spoil its relations with Russia. The Prince’s defeat finally and completely exposed this double game, arousing bitterness and compromising Hodges so much that his stay in Belgrade was not possible any more. In May 1839, having stayed in Belgrade for exactly two years and only several months after passing of the Turkish constitution, the British Consul General moved to Zemun. Such an outcome of the first British mission had a very great impact on the future reputation and influence of the British diplomacy in Serbia. Until his death Prince Miloš believed that unreliable British assistance brought about his deposal in 183911. The British policy towards Serbia was seriously criticized in the British Parliament itself, and almost two decades later Hodges’s successor to the position of the Consul General wrote how since Hodges’s departure Britain was not interfering with

the Serbian internal policy, except in principle12. It may be finally said that the greatest mistake of the first British Consul General was really the conviction that foreign policy was of prevailing interest to the Serbian policy makers as well. This was why he believed that it was possible to reach a compromise pattern of the constitutional system in Serbia, leaving absolute power to the ruler, while the Constitutionalists could be satisfied by a guarantee of the basic civil rights13. The new British Consul General came to Serbia not before the spring of 1842. Thomas Grenier de Fonblanque arrived to Belgrade, even eight months after his appointment as head the British Consulate in Serbia (on the 21st of August 1841). It seems that the British diplomacy by its very choice and instructions attempted to stay out of the turbulent events that were shaking Serbia at that time14. In September 1842 Vučić’s uprising took place, Prince Mihailo was dethroned, and the Constitutionalists and Prince Aleksandar Karadjordjević came to power. Fonblanque remained at the post of the Consul General in Serbia longer than all his successors. His eighteen-year-long service in Belgrade had no match in the length of the mandate of any other foreign consul staying in Serbia during the nineteenth century. Nevertheless, it might be said that Fonblanque’s personality and work, despite the fact that the continuity of his long lasting activities could be very precisely followed in available sources, remained controversial and enigmatic. As Fonblanque was at the post of the Consul General in Serbia during the Crimean War, it was in fact during his mandate that Great Britain, now together with France, obtained again a significant influence on the Serbian policy, so that on this occasion something more should be written about this interesting historical personality, 12 Fonblanque to Redcliffe, Belgrade, 29 February 1856, F.O. 78/1097, No.10, (PRO, Kew,, London). 13 R. Ljušić, Kneževina Srbija (1830–1839), /In Serbian: The Principality of Serbia 1830-1839/, Belgrade, 1983, pp. 158. 14 The long journey Fonblanque took via Gibraltar, Malta and Trieste was already extremely unusual, pointing out by its very choice to the small significance Foreign Office attached to Serbia. The superiors were even accusing him that he had chosen the longest route in order to avoid his creditors. Ph.

XII–XIII, 1961–1962, Belgrade, 1963, p. 418. In one of his speeches held in the early forties of the VQVM\MMV\P century, Benjamin Disraeli, the future British conservative Prime Minister, singled out Thomas Fonblanque as an example of “general lack of capability and qualifications” among the British diplomats.

whose character overshadowed his own work, at least when speaking about the image prevailing in later historiography. In the reviews published until present about the history of the BritishSerbian relations there is not much about Fonblanque’s biography. The ancestors of the second British Consul General in Serbia had moved to the region of Cornwall in the [M^MV\MMV\P century fleeing the religious persecution in France15. During the next century they were already fully integrated, as Fonblanque’s father entered the House of Commons as the Member of Parliament for Camelford. Albany William Fonblanque, Thomas Fonblanque’s brother, was a distinguished journalist and the editor of the influential Examiner for a long time16. Thomas Fonblanque himself started his career in a manner usual for the majority of prominent British politicians and diplomats of the VQVM\MMV\P century, particularly if not of an aristocratic origin. In 1808, during the Napoleonic wars, he joined the British Army in which he served for full eight years, on the fronts in Spain, Sicily and Belgium17. As it was customary in the Foreign Office official biographies, the date of Fonblanque’s 15

British travellers, occasionally passing through Belgrade, had much more favourable opinion of Fonblanque. Skane thus stated that he had pleasant and interesting talks with Fonblanque not only about Serbian topics, but also about all other topics they came upon for which he “was equally an inexhaustible source”.

Thomas Grenier Viscount de Fonblanque, K.H. was the descendant of the old Italian noble family Grenieri that moved to Languedoc in the thirteenth century. The older branch of the family bearing the title Marquess of Juliers became extinct in 1829. Pierre Grenier, Thomans Fonblanque’s ancestor, defended the castle Cessenan from the Duke of Montmorency in 1584. Because of this his descendants received the title of Counte de Hautessere et de Fonblanque from Henry IV. In 1688 the title was confirmed by the Intendant of Languedoc M. de Bezons. Anthony Fonblanque, Thomas Fonblanque’s great-grandfather, moved to England in the beginning of the eighteenth century, where he was naturalized by the Parliament Act of 14.4.1738. Thomas Grenier de Fonblanque’s father, John Martin de Fonblanque (de iure Comte de Fonblanque K.C. (1844), was the Barrister-at-law of the Middle Temple (24.1.1783-4.1.1857). John Martin was the M.P. for Camelford (1803-1806) and a personal friend of H.R.H. Prince of Wales afterwards George IV. He actually reassumed the original surname of “de Grenier”, by the royal

birth was not recorded, but as he was still in service in 1858, it could be assumed that he had to be very young when he had joined the army – perhaps, barely sixteen years old. He entered the diplomatic service on the 21st of September 1816, when he was appointed the Consul for the region of the French coast of the English Channel. It seems that he distinguished himself in the service from the beginning, because before his transfer he was decorated with the Guelphic order of the 3rd class. On the first of January 1822 he was appointed the Consul in Eastern Prussia and remained unassigned for four years after this Consulate was dissolved in 1832. Since 1836 he was at the post of the British Consul for Prussian Dominions. In 1838 he was transferred across the Atlantic to Philadelphia, where he remained for more than three years. The appointment as the Consul General in Serbia represented by all means a significant promotion for the 49-year old diplomat. By ill fortune this was to be the last one in his career. License on 16.5.1828. Thomas Grenier de Fonblanque was John Martin’s middle son. The eldest son, John Samuel Martin was in 21st Fusiliers, afterwards a Commissioner for bankruptcy.

G. de Fonblanque married Jane-Catherine, Sir Jonah Barrington, the judge of the High Court of Admiralty in Ireland and a M.P. in the British Parliament, daughter.

Thomas and Jane-Catherine had at least three children. Adelaide Arabella married Otto Count Schllippenbach and Sckofte Chamberlain to the King of Prussia. The wedding took place in Napoli on 1.11.1850. Adelaide Arabella died only six years later (1.8.1856) in Basedow, Mecklenburg-Schwerin, The Gentleman’s Magazine, July 1856, Obituary, 893). Younger daughter Caroline married Rev. Richard Croker, M.A. in 1861 (The Gentleman’s Magazine and Historical Review by Sylvanus Urban, Gent 1861). Thomas de Fonblaque’s son, Edward Barrington de Fonblanque, inherited the title of viscount.

It would not be too strong to say that from the very beginning Serbia did not much attract Fonblanque. The population he met there was of different culture and the mentality he could not stand. The politicians he was in contact with were mostly loathsome to him. The Princes Mihailo and Aleksandar seemed to him as sheer puppets: the former was in the power of the Russian Consul Veščenko, while not only the Russian and Austrian diplomacies were competing who would gain the power over the latter, but also the fractions of the quarrelling Constitutionalist oligarchy. Burdened with Hodges’s legacy Fonblanque was also dissatisfied with the weak British influence and his low income which made him considerably lag behind his colleagues, even at the time when he became the doyen of the small diplomatic corps in the Principality.18 There were another two important turning points Fonblanque experienced during the forties in the nineteenth century, that finally modelled his negative attitude towards Serbia and the Serbian people. First of all, he got dysentery from which he was treated and recovering in Zemun, having left the Consulate building in Belgrade for quite some time. Later on the 1848-1849 Hungarian Revolution took place in which the Serbs in Southern Hungary, with abundant help from the official Serbia and its volunteers, fought against the Hungarians, the British favorites. Many years later Fonblanque wrote with disgust about riotous Serbian volunteers everybody feared, even their fellow Serbs from Austria. If Fonblanque had to seriously accuse any Serbian politician, this had to be unavoidably corroborated by the participation of the same in the Hungarian war.19 There is not much written in historiography 18 Fonblanque‘s annual salary amounted to 800 pounds sterling, allocating him 156 pounds for expenses. In total, the above sum was higher than the average salary of the state counselor in the Principality of Serbia (i.e., 4,780 thalers in comparison with the counselor‘s salary of 2,500 thalers). The British Consul, however, lagged behind 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 dissatisfied with his pay, stating that he was the least paid of other foreign consuls, and that his salary was smaller than the pay received by some Serbian politicians. It is true that Fonblanque‘s budget in 1855 was for more than one third smaller than the total sum of his actual expenses in Belgrade.

about his role in those events. However, several years later he was personally boasting about giving shelter to Laiosh Kossuth himself, the leader of the Hungarian Revolution, when running away from the Austrian retaliation across the Serbian territory.20 The proud British consul claimed that the official Austria had never forgiven him for the role he played, so that even the Austrian emperor Franz Joseph I when travelling by boat on the Danube in 1852, personally forbade the crew of his ship to return the honours the British flag, under which Kossuth’s rescuer defiantly stood.21 It is quite understandable that the legacy could not have been responsible for everything. Fonblanque was truly a very difficult person. Despite their continuous cooperation Garašanin himself described him once as “a completely crazy person”.22 The British Consul General was frequently the victim of circumstances in Serbia. Thus in 1851 he came into conflict with the Serbian authorities because the gathered mob stoned the British Consulate and burnt the hoisted British flag in front of it. The reason was that he had omitted to have the building illuminated on the occasion of Prince Aleksandar’s birthday. The Serbian government finally apologized and even took over certain obligations concerning the construction of roads in order to expand the modest British trade in Serbia. However, when at last, two years later certain British investments were made in Serbia (the Woodword company intended to invest several thousand pounds into the pork processing), an unpleasant disagreement occurred with the contractors, in which Fonblanque himself had to take part.23 The misunderstandings between the British Consul 20

In the beginning of 1855 he even had to give an explanation to his superiors for the Sultan’s alleged personal wish to decorate him, while several months later he recollected that the emperor Nikolay I knew how to emphasize the significant role the British Consul General actually played in Serbia in the years preceding the Crimean War saying: ”C’est donc une Conlenure ? que ce Monsieur de Fonblanque!” Fonblanque to Clarendon, Belgrade, 19 February 1855, F.O. 78/1095; Fonblanque to Clarendon, Belgrade, 20 February 1856, F.O. 78/1197, No. 8. 22 D.

General and his surroundings got in the end a fateful turn. In May 1858, while carelessly walking he was attacked by the Turkish guards and the injuries he sustained had lethal consequences.24 But Fonblanque was not always the innocent victim in his complex relations with the Serbs and the Turks. During one minor traffic accident he beat up the incautious coachman and his almost three times younger passenger. The injured party sued him, but without much success as the Serbian authorities took trouble not to antagonize Great Britain even when quite banal issue was in question.25 This was, however, only one side of the British Consul General’s personality. Although he despised Serbian politicians, he remained in sincere friendship with Ilija Garašanin for a long time. It is true that Garašanin sometimes used to talk unfavourably about him, but even during the greatest crises such a negative attitude was not mutual.26 He was denying the Serbian people many qualities that any civilized people should have, but frequently this was not made in ill will. Despite the fact that during almost two decades of living in Serbia he did not learn to speak the Serbian language, Fonblanque showed a great interest in its circumstances as can be proved by this excerpt: „…the wants of Servia abundantly supplied by keeping one-third of the rich soil under culture. Servia could feed five millions of people and export grain and cattle beside, but under a system tainted by indolence and vice, – her Population has, within the last fifteen years, declined from one million to nine hundred thousand. As there is no poverty to restrain early marriages; this decay must be ascribed to more unusual causes and the most patent of these, is the tolerated habit of procuring abortion – a process which

implicates great mortality amongst Females. This is not an opportune moment for me to indulge in speculations about the fate of Servia; but I may perhaps be allowed to admit a belief of my having established the lemma of its’ anticipation for self– (that is, for national) government, and to assert, as a corollary–that no social amelioration – in fine, no redemption for an inclination to savage life on a Russian plan, or to a Russian degree can save the Country so full of capabilities – unless an enlightened government can be introduced, from without, under the protection of Foreign Federal Troops – not all Austrian, and none of them Turkish – until better principles are implanted among invisibly relapsing Natives. Foreigners of the wrong– kind precipitated the ruin of Greece, Foreigners of appropriate description could regenerate Servia27.“

He showed the similar insight in the beginning of December 1854 when he described in his report to Redcliffe the strange persistence of the Serbian authorities to install the telegraph through Serbia on their own. He argued that they were not able or willing to build a road from the City of Belgrade to five miles distant Topčider, concluding that “the favourite rule with Serbs is to start building the house from the roof ”.28 In addition to this, Fonblanque was acquainted with the national aspirations of Serbia. He was one of the rare foreign diplomats who anticipated the significant role Serbia would play in the future, particularly in relation to uniting of the Southern Slavs.29 Fonblanque’s proposals for the constitutional reform of Serbia in the forthcoming decades proved as an excellent anticipation of the Serbian institutions evolution. Even when dealing with the economic future of the Principality, his estimate that the only profitable export article would, actually, be the export of pork has proved to be correct.30 Fonblanque’s observations were as much as interesting as daring, and probably therefore were not well received by the Foreign Office. He proposed the constitutional and state reforms in Serbia under the British protectorate, his own concept of the reform of the Ottoman Empire by asymmetric federalization, as well as a completely new presentation of the British economy in Serbia. Despite all his efforts, the proposals he kept sending contained, however, a great immediate risk, and even greater and more uncertain long-term effects. Unable to obtain 27

long-term gains at the least possible risk, the practical British foreign policy makers opted for, as a rule, small risks and immediate effects. The attention should also be paid here to the nature of the BritishSerbian diplomatic relations during the fifties of the nineteenth century. At that time Serbia, alongside with some German countries and Switzerland, was one of the rare landlocked European countries. In addition to this, it was not independent, and the land communications were, as seen, very bad. In the middle of the nineteenth century the population of London itself, for instance, two and a half times exceeded the total population of the Principality of Serbia while, according to some statistics, as much as six million people were involved in commerce in Great Britain.31 Their institutions greatly differed as well. Great Britain was the centre of the European liberalism, and the parliamentary principle was so strong that already for one century the cabinets depended on the parliamentary majority in the Westminster Palace. The role of citizens was not only expanded in state governing in 1832, but actually the time of the Crimean War brought about its new triumph, because for the first time in history, the pressure of the public opinion caused the downfall of one Cabinet.32 The diplomacy was somewhat more conservative in relation to the other British state institutions. During the Crimean War it acted in the form already established in the eighteenth century. Closed and oligarchic by nature, during the nineteenth century it started only gradually to become professionalized, but only to a limited extent.33 In the nineteenth century Serbia belonged first to the Southern, and later to the Eastern Foreign Office Department.34 At that time Great Britain maintained diplomatic relations at the rank of ambassador with six European powers only: France, Spain, Russia, Austria, Prussia and the Ottoman Empire. In about some other twenty countries in the world considered independent at the time, Great Britain was represented by the rank of a minister or the minister extraordinary and envoy plenipotentiary, while it had general consuls or general agents in the countries such as Serbia. Fonblanque was the 31

general agent in Serbia, but notwithstanding all his attempts to get at least one (regional) consulate opened in the Lower Danube region (with the seat in Smederevo), not only that had been unsuccessful, but in his opinion he was ranked a step lower in the Foreign Office hierarchy in comparison to his Belgrade colleagues from other countries.35 A comparatively small significance the Principality of Serbia had enjoyed in the British plans until 1853 resulted in its policy towards the Principality being essentially determined by the general policy towards the Ottoman Empire. As we have seen, this policy did not basically change since 1815, although it could be said that despite entering into the war with Russia, Aberdeen’s Cabinet (George Hamilton Gordon Earl of Aberdeen) was much less disposed against Russia than in the case of Palmerston’s Cabinet to succeed him in 1855. The changes in the British policy towards the Ottoman Empire had almost no effect on its policy towards Serbia. Serbia was hardly ever mentioned in the Parliament during the war, and no document exclusively related to it was found in Aberdeen’s papers. The policy towards Serbia was essentially defined by the British Ambassador in Constantinople, Sir Stratford de Redcliffe and Fonblanque, with the final approval of Lord Clarendon (Clarendon, George William Frederick Villiers, 4th earl of), the State Secretary (Minister of Foreign Affairs) in Aberdeen’s Cabinet. A closer circle of Aberdeen’s Cabinet, determined much more important British policy issues in the war whereas the issues such as the Serbian one were mainly within the State Secretary’s complete competence.36 During this time Serbia was ruled by the Prince and the State Council in accordance with the Turkish Constitution which, as Slobodan Jovanović very precisely observed, was written more to restrict the ruler than to provide valid administration to the state.37 While the ruler was made unable to perform both by the letter of the Constitution and the fact that Porte had not recognized the right to title succession of the Karadjordjević family, the State Council was increasingly losing touch with the people thus becoming not only oligarchic but a closed bureaucratic institution as well. Serbia was thus under the great 35

influence of the Ottoman Empire, its Suzerain, Russia, its Protector and Austria to which it was militarily and economically oriented. As an autonomous state within the Ottoman Empire the Principality had no established relations with foreign states. The Serbian Agent at the Porte – Kapou-kehaja and occasional agents in Wallachia and Moldavia were the exceptions. Serbia felt the need to expand its diplomatic activities during the Crimean War. Jovan Marinović was thus sent to Paris in an unofficial mission,

and he remained there for one year only, maintaining regular contacts with the French and British Ministries of Foreign Affairs.38 Aleksa Janković was later sent to Vienna with a similar task.39 Although Serbia was often under the prevailing influence of Russia during the Crimean War, mainly Russian diplomats used to come to Serbia (Fonton, Mouchin, Popov and others). Anastas Nikolić’s mission dispatched to the Russian General Headquarters in Wallachia, remained a rather isolated case of direct diplomatic activity of the official Serbia in this respect.40 Contrary to other Great Powers which sent their special envoys to Serbia, particularly in the period of the great crisis from the summer 1853 to the spring of 1854, Great Britain did not send additional diplomats in Serbia.41 Fonblanque was the highest diplomatic representative of Great Britain during the Crimean War. In Serbia, in addition to the Prince, his Prime Minister (Predstavnik) was in charge of the foreign policy, who also carried out the duty of the Minister of Foreign Affairs (Popečitelj). Apart from these two men, Fonblanque maintained contacts with several members of the State Council, although this institution had not the mandate for foreign policy affairs. The British Consul General even claimed that he had to be given credit for admitting to the State Council four members partial to Great Britain and France after 1851. Still, it could be said that the majority of Serbian politicians he cooperated with had cold, probably even hostile relations with him. We have seen how he considered the Prince to be a weak and extremely unreliable person. In several instances he even claimed that his deposal was a prerequisite for the progress of Serbia. Understandably, he despised the “Russian party”, and his contacts 38

with its leaders Toma Vučić Perišić and Stefan Stefanović-Tenka were rare and limited, filled with distrust. He shrank from the Austrophiles, particularly after 1848, but he remained in regular connections with them. Except from Garašanin, he did not deem it necessary to say a good word about the Prince’s Prime Ministers until the end of the Crimean War. Avram Petronijević, Constitutionalist leader, influential and relatively independent was, according to him, an irreconcilable opponent of the West and incorrigible demagogue, Aleksa Simić – a Russophile and accomplice in the ruler’s incapacity, Aleksa Janković – Austrophile who, bribed by his appointment for the Prime Minister completely changed his political attitude.42 Garašanin had personally good relations with him, primarily because of the political orientation he adopted after his visit to Paris in 1852 and the unswervigness he showed as one of the first victims of Menshikov’s mission already in March 1853. In addition to their political similarity which was probably the greatest in the period from 1852 to 1858, one cannot neglect the impact of the fact that Fonblanque and Garašanin were able to communicate without any bigger problems in the German language which apparently the British Consul General spoke better than the French language.43 Although language barriers were not important for Fonblanque in general, as the politicians he communicated with were speaking one of the European languages, the lack of knowledge of the Serbian language isolated him a lot. This fact was especially manifested in the affair with the 1854 Memorandum and the articles in Srbske novine at the end of 1855, when he delatedly reacted just because he had had no opportunity of getting their official translation in time.44 Still, despite the fact that the British policy towards the Balkans was defined and directed primarily by Clarendon and Redcliffe, its inspirer in great extent, in case of Serbia, was certainly Fonblanque himself. In the narrow circle of the above mentioned British diplomats and a somewhat 42 Fonblanque to Redcliffe, Belgrade, 29 December 1855, F.O. 78/1095, Copy No. 60; J.

In fact, it awakened Garašanin‘s increased interest in foreign policy. For the first time then he started to wear the Western civilian clothes. D.

greater number of Serbian politicians, it is possible to recognize the makers of the British-Serbian relations during the Crimean War. The study of the relations between Great Britain and Serbia during the Crimean War obviously deserves a special attention for many reasons. It has been mentioned that during the entire nineteenth century London showed much greater interest for the circumstances in Serbia only during the Crimean War (1853-1856) and Great Eastern Crisis (1875-1878). But while during the Great Eastern Crisis Great Britain was negatively disposed towards Serbia from the beginning and had no direct military participation in the crisis, the conditions were basically different during the Crimean War. The interests Great Britain had for Serbia were twofold. The attitude of Serbia should without fail, according to the British belief, define the position of all Balkan Christians, and particularly South Slavs. On the other hand, the total number of British

soldiers submitted to the Parliament in the summer of 1854 amounted to 183,000, together with the troops in the colonies. Only 30,000 British soldiers were, however, sent to the East.45 By the end of 1853 the estimates of the number of the Serbian armed troops, reaching the British public, were in the range of sixty to eighty thousand soldiers. Although these estimates were later denied both by the diplomats and observers, as well as by the official Serbia, they ascribed it great significance at the climax of the crisis in 1853-1854. Later, particularly in the beginning of 1856, Serbia remained completely neglected in the plans of Great Britain and Western allies. The reform of the Ottoman Empire was carried out without visible connection with the reforms of the Danube principalities and Serbia which, notwithstanding, took place. The reasons for such a policy of Great Britain and its allies were disregarded in the historiography until present, exactly because of the prevailing belief that limited Russo-Turkish war on the Danube showed not only the weakness of Russia but also the small significance of the Balkans in the forthcoming conflict. The impact of the decisions of the Paris Congress on further development of political circumstances and the determination of the status of Serbia was underestimated owing to the inappropriate comparison of Serbia with the Danube principalities and Piedmont. The study that follows is an analysis of chronologically presented British-Serbian diplomatic relations, with special topical reviews of their important segments which have not even until present drawn the attention of the historians.
