In this article, Hotel Lambert’s Serbian Policy between 1840-1844 will be analyzed and Hotel Lambert’s effects on the creation of the first modern Serbian nationalist program, “Načertanije” will be discussed. The purposes of Hotel Lambert’s Serbian policy were to reduce Russia’s influence in Eastern Europe and regain independence of Poland which was shared by Austria, Russia and Prussia in the XVIIIth century. In this study, the process of formation of Hotel Lambert is examined from the perspective of Polish history in the XVIIIth and XIXth century.
