Vasojevići

Il clan Vasojevići (in serbo: Vasojevići/Васојевићи) è il più grande sottogruppo nazionale montenegrino, il quale ha origini serbe.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9] Occupa l'area tra Lijeva Rijeka a sud e Bihor presso Bijelo Polje a nord, Mateševo a ovest e Plav a est, e rimane uno dei sette sottogruppi statali (Vasojevići, Moračani, Rovčani, Bratonožići, Kuči, Piperi and Bjelopavlići). Vasojevići corrisponde anche al nome della regione medesima.

Nonostante oggigiorno il centro maggiore sia collocato a Andrijevica (città del Montenegro nord-orientale), la popolazione si stende fino a Lijeva Rijeka (Fiume Sinistro) nel Montenegro centrale. Il fondatore, Vaso, arrivò nell'area dopo la battaglia del Cossovo e da lì il gruppo accrebbe rapidamente, arrivando a occupare la zona delle montagne Komovi e le sponde del fiume Lim; poi continuò l'espansione nel tempo in direzione della Serbia attuale e del resto del Montenegro.

Storia

La prima notazione scritta del gruppo Vasojevići compare per la prima volta in un archivio di Ragusa nel 1444. Prima di ciò pare che il nome Vasojevići e poi tutta la tradizione popolare del gruppo sia arrivata ai nostri giorni solo per via orale.

Secondo la leggenda, il gruppo risalirebbe alla persona di Stefan Nemanja (XII sec.), gran principe di Raška, fondatore della dinastia Nemanjić e, a seguito della sua morte a San Simeone, patrono della chiesa ortodossa serba.

«The now Slavic-speaking Kuçi [Kuči] tribe of Montenegro, for instance, was originally Albanian-speaking. The same may be true, at least in part, of the Montenegrin Vasoviqi [Vasojevići] and Palabardhi [Bjelopavlići] tribes. On the other hand, many of the Albanian tribes took their origins from the north, i.e. from Montenegro and even from Herzegovina, and were no doubt originally Slavic-speaking.»

«This also explains the severity of the measures with which the official circles of Cetinje tried to eliminate the folk costume of several Albanian clans in Montenegro, as one of the means for their denationalisation. Thus, in 1860, the government in Cetinje first issued the order that ornaments and embroideries must be removed from different parts of the costume of the women of the Vasaj tribe (Vasojevic) such as on the xhubleta, aprons, jackets etc. and Montenegrin garments worn instead; then the governor sent men to the Vasaj who “took the multicolour coats from the women's clothes chests so the people would wear the Montenegrin costume. He did the same thing in the neighbouring zones of the Moraça, Ravcaj, Bratonozhiq and other, because there too, a similar women's costume was worn” (121, p.823). Despite the drastic measure, the women of the Vasaj clan retained their folk costume until the beginning of XX century.»
