Италијански Рисоргименто, was not just an event closely linked to the events of the Italian people, but a phenomenon that has affected the struggle for independence of other nations in search for the country. Among them, the story deserves a special place because of the independence of Serbia. Between 1800 and 1918, there were many moments when the two pro-independence movement had opportunity to get in touch. In fact, during this period, which corresponds to the concept of a long history of the Renaissance are a number of statements of interest to philosophers and men of action Italian Risorgimento was against the Serbian national cause. At the same time, the events that took place in Italy have been the object of admiration and careful analysis of the patriotic Serbs. This situation is not interested in just thinkers, but also and above all, people of culture. In fact, the relationship between cause and Italian national serbian came through the work of people like Nicholas Tommaseo, Francesco Dal, Vuk Stefanovic Karadzic, Medo Pucic and, later, to Gabriele d'Annunzio.

Author of the "National Programme Serbia" he was Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Principality, Elijah Garašanina, a man of deep culture and professional assessment of the major liberal thinkers in our country.
This "program" not only to reform, and the liberal constitutional state, but also tend to initially create a great nation, which, from Serbia, to gather, track Indirect expectations of Pan-Slavic and Europe of which Mazzini was a firm believer.

While waiting for the other components of a slave was brought to the movement for autonomy, Serbia is expected to begin a serious program of modernization state bureaucracy and armed forces, and it was necessary to enable the foreign policy aimed at raising the "European public opinion on the situation in the Balkans seeking alliances in those countries that could not interest in that area.

In fact, only could I possibly repeatedly said that Serbia, as well as the "Sentinel of the East" Europe has been the "Piedmont" Balkan could do for the South Slavs, the small country has worked for Sardinia Italian national cause.
