Abstract
<jats:p>The aim of this paper is to highlight the significance of the visit made by Prince Nikola to Sultan Abdul Hamid II in 1883, from the perspective of resolving the issue of the border demarcation between Montenegro and the Ottoman Empire after the Berlin Congress. This issue had long burdened the relations between the two states, due to Constantinople’s procrastination in implementing the provisions of the Berlin Treaty, both in terms of handing over territories that, according to the Treaty, were assigned to Montenegro, and in terms of clarifying the Montenegrin-Ottoman borderline. Since the issue of territorial cession was resolved at the end of 1880, during the Prince’s visit to the Sultan, the main topic of discussion was the Montenegrin-Turkish demarcation. The agreement reached regarding this issue in the Ottoman capital was later, not without certain difficulties, implemented on the ground, with the entire process concluding in 1887.</jats:p>
