This article recounts the 1913 Italian–Austrian–Hungarian humanitarian action, drawing on new, previously unpublished archival sources uncovered as part of the project. The most remarkable feature of this humanitarian action is that it was initiated by European great powers—which considered themselves Christian—primarily for the benefit of Muslims. The study was published in issue 2025/3 of ANNALI - MITAG.

László Márkusz, a researcher on our project, published a study titled “Republika Srpska and the Dayton Peace Process (1995–2025)” in the Spring 2026 issue of Pro Minoritate (pp. 57–77), which was released in mid-summer.

Significant changes have taken place in Bosnia and Herzegovina in recent weeks. In early May, High Representative Christian Schmidt, who served as the representative of the principal international body overseeing state-building, resigned.

Despite its rich historical background, there have been only few case studies of the pre-1914 history of humanitarian action written by historians based on unpublished archival sources. The existing case studies, on the one hand, are transatlantic centric, i.e. scholars have neglected researching of the humanitarian past of Eastern Europe.
