Excerpt from Mestrovic and Serbian Sculpture

But what is a national temperament? With reference to the Balkans, the term national or nationality has a wider signifi cation than when it refers to the more settled nations of Europe and America. The best test of Balkan nationality is a living feeling of race consciousness.

Judged by this test, the Southern Slavs form, subject to a qualification on account of differ ences of religion, a single nationality. They not only include the independent kingdom of Serbia, with the territory acquired in the last Balkan War, but also the independent kingdom of Montenegro and the various Slav communities ih cluded in the austro-hungarian Empire. Chief of these are the Serbs and Croats of Dalmatia (from whom Mestrovié is himself sprung) and Croatia, and the Serbs of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
