	I will try to answer to these questions on the basis of a theoretical text by Svetozar Petrovi?, a Yugoslav literary scholar. Petrovi? pointed out the problems of meeting foreign influence with hostility as well as the various strategies of reworking the impact of bigger and colonizing literatures.

Although the geopolitical concept belongs to the 20th century, it has been derived from the tensions awakened in the 19th century.
