Strasno mi je drago da ste se svi ocito lijepo zabavili sa hajducijom, upravo je smijesno kako nas obicna rijec moze ovoliko zabaviti trazenjem njenog prenesenog znacenja, ali ovaj osjecaj za nijanse je vjerovatno i pravi razlog zbog kojeg i volimo jezik.

Mrzim da dodjeljujem ove bodove jer su svi odgovori tacni i jer je tako nezahvalno (pr)ocjenjivati nijanse. Koristicu "brigandage/strong-arm tactics" jer mi se cini najprikladnije kontekstu koji imam.

Hvala vam svima na vrlo iscrpnim objasnjenjima i trudu, osjecam kao da bih mogao da napisem mali magistarski na znacenje ove rijeci! Hvala Miro, hvala Pavle, hvala svima ostalima na zaista iscrpnim objasnjenjima puno ste mi pomogli.

banditry

Explanation:
from: THE ROLE OF BANDITRY IN THE CREATION OF NATIONAL STATES IN THE CENTRAL BALKANS DURING THE 19TH CENTURY A CASE STUDY: SERBIA

by

Aleksandar Petrović

This special report on bandits entitled ‘Hajdučija’ (Хајдучија) was published as a supplement to the Belgrade-based Serbian newspaper ‘Male Novine’ (‘Мале Новине’) between September 4th 1897 and February 5th 1898. Totaling 120 issues, the Hajdučija report followed on a daily basis the court case against the bandits. The court case itself, known in the local historiography as ‘Hajdučki Pretres’ (Хајдучки Претрес), was in many ways a culmination of some eighty years of struggle by the emerging Serbian state in eradicating banditry in the country.
