A literary, informative and general interest bi-weekly, "Južna Pčela", however, published and edited by Milorad Medaković, Danilo's brother, filled the void left by the short-lived "Vojvodjanka" in Zemun in 1851. It wrote about all matters of interest to the Serbs, ranging from internal political affairs in Serbia and Montenegro, social and political position of the Christians in Turkey, especially in Bosnia, to Serbo-Hungarian relations. It denounced the 1848 Hungarian emigres. Milorad Medaković, who knew Petar II Petrović-Njegoš closely during the last few years of the latter's reign, wrote a biography of the famed poet entitled "

After the Assembly two basic political streams were formed, the liberal and the conservative, which fought between themselves for influence among the people through the newspapers. Prince Miloš, who was already growing old, occasionally supported liberals and occasionally conservatives, to finally come to rely on the conservatives. It is important that both sides had a chance to present their ideas and program. The foundations of modern Serbian publicist writing were laid down in that short period (1859). The most eminent journalists were the writer

Its Publisher and Editor-In-Chief was Danilo Medaković, who got his doctoral degree in philosophy in Berlin and was a collaborator on several European newspapers. According to Jovan Skerlić, the first historian of Serbian press, "Napredak" ("Progress") was a "decisively national newspaper", which occasionally supported progressive European ideas.

In 1849 he purchased extensive patent which included the Old and New Testament in Serbian, with or without notes, of any translation. The full patent granted to Medaković the office of royal printer of all statutes, books, bills, Acts of Parliament (Sabor), proclamations, injunctions, Bibles, and New Testaments, in the Serbian tongue of any translation, all service books to be used in churches, and all other volumes ordered to be printed by the Crown Prince or Sabor (Parliament).

Though at one point, he contemplated leaving Zagreb. Greatly disturbed by the situation in Croatia, particularly by the anti-Serbian mood, the aged Danilo Medaković, who had moved recently to Zagreb from Novi Sad to spend the rest of his days there, wrote to a friend on 28 February 1878:

Encouraged by the reception of "Poviestnica srbskog naroda vitezke pesme", he edited and published in rapid succession, ten works of
290:'s policy, and his paper "Napredak" concluded that just as "there has never been liberty in Austria," so now "there never will be," because Austria and liberty "are perpetual enemies." That turning point came about after the 1848 Revolution when the Austrian government reneged on its promises and began to suppress all the Serbian institutions in the Empire.
