The idea of ?brava dubrovacka? has been formed crossing the levels of history, legends and imagination in the traditional epic poems. It has been established as a conventional motif in the folklore tradition. Later it was transfered from the folklore tradition into so called ?artistc literature?. The continuance of the idea of ?brava dubrovacka? in the literature tradition gener?ally proves the importance of the old Dubrovnik to the entire Serbian cultural tradition.
