He was a diplomat in late Austria-Hungary who played a very significant role in the Balkans. Because of his mentors Gyula Andrássy and especially Béni Kállay he became an inevitable counselor in all Balkan affairs even to the emperor Franz Joseph himself, to ministers and to the government of the empire. His academic work has produced important results in the study of south Slavic countries (Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia) and he is regarded as the founder of modern Hungarian researches of the Balkans.
