Pozdrav.

thank you very much / hvala puno moj drug ! čurćić I know and have in my collection. Obviously there are questionable issues in books and museums. Just like Elgood "borrowed" his Balkan chapter from Đurđica Petrović (1927-2003) .
Last but not least I get quite some info from publications in "Wissenschaftliche Mitteilungen aus Bosnien und der Hercegowina" from 1893 till 1916
a German-language scholarly journal on the heritage of Bosnia and Herzegovina, published in Vienna by the Bosnian National Museum of Sarajevo.

as you are from Kotor; hope to meet you some day for a loza or two in Dobrota ( were I used to stay in the mid 80ies with my Crngorci brat / friend ) ! ☺☺☺
