Р. 1, 2, 4; См. также текст на обложке. По словам составителей, в сборнике «argues that the key events that portended the begining of the end of the multiethnic Ottoman Empire were the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878 and the Treaty of Berlin. The essays in this volume analyze how the war and the treaty permanently transformed the political landscape both in the Balkans and Caucasus. The Treaty marked the end of Ottoman hegemony in the Balkans… By introducing the unitary nation state as the new organizing concept, the treaty planted the seeds of future conflict, from the Balkan Wars of 1912–1913 and the First World War to recent civil wars and ethnic cleansing in former Yugoslavia. The magnitude of the defeat… and territorial loses that followed proved fatal to the project of Muslim liberal reform and modernization that the Ottoman state had launched in the middle of the nineteenth century». В предисловии (С. 2) можно обнаружить и следующее утверждение: «Montenegro obtained most of the Albanian-inhabitet territories of Nikšić, Podgorica and Bar». Об этом пишут Кемаль Силай (Kemal Silay, Indiana University Bloomington) и Али Яйцы-оглы (Ali Yayciogly, Stanford University).
