Abstract

The basic aim of this paper will be to pay attention on relations between Russia and Great Britain in the 19th century on the Balkan Peninsula with special focus on Serbia as the typical Balkan pattern. In that period both of them were interested what happened there. In London with huge attention were watching whether Russian influence grown or fall down on the Balkans. In the Foreign Office also were interested whether Russian officials support forming of the Panslavic committees in the Balkan states, especially in Serbia. Policy of Russophobia prevailed in the British foreign policy on the Balkan in the 19th century. British politicians are thinking that all Slavic peoples, especially the South Slavs because of their historical, spiritual, religious ties with the Russians are a priori exponents of the Russian policy on the Balkans.
