The exchange of experts between Kotor and Dubrovnik in the course of the 14th and 15th century

Abstract

In the course of the 14th and 15th century there was a continuous exchange of skilled workforce between Dubrovnik and Kotor necessary for the normal functioning of the two cities. During the specified period, a number of workers, predominantly qualified ones, including doctors, pharmacists, but also many craftsmen such as jewellers, gunsmiths, stonecutters, left more developed Dubrovnik for Kotor. At the same time, less qualified workers, or uneducated famuli, went to Kotor during the 14th and 15th century with the intention of gaining appropriate qualifications and education in the city under Srdje. Thanks to their activities, both of these Yugoslav centres, in the specified period, reached a certain level of economic and social development.
