You need a \noindentation in the  setuphead command:

     before={\page\noindentation\hairline\blank[line]},

this is not very obvious, but the \hairline is indented just like
a normal paragraph if you don't add the \noidentation.

This is a FAQ: Large documents that have front- and backmatters
are likely books, and books should have an even number of pages. On a
small document (article, letter), you would simply not use the section
block commands at all.

In any case, from the wiki page

   http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Empty_page_at_the_end

comes this solution/workaround

   \setupsectionblock[appendix][page=no]

Here you've hit a number of problems, some of which are in the bib
module, not your doing.

* the module does not currently support all types of \cite across
   section block boundaries, and that is why you do not get output
   from your \cite commands.

   Solution: none. it is not possible to combine 'short' citation
   and mainmatter/backmatter/appendices. (this problem is nasty, but
   quite hard to fix).

* the module also has a different problem; this time with your file
   name (konkurenčnaklavzula_context.tex). One of the internal
   references the bib module creates attaches the input file name to
   a reference, and if the document name is not 7-bit ascii this
   apparently fails. It is something I have never tested.

   Workaround: only use visible ASCII in your file names (for now,
   I intend to fix this).

* You have to be a bit more careful about the \startpublication
   arguments:
   - watch out for extra space characters. The only ones that are
     ignored are the ones just before a key.
   - if a value contains equals signs, square brackets, or commas,
     you have to wrap it in braces.

* The \author command inside bbl files takes three arguments:

   \author{Matija}{}{Šuklje}

* monthconversion takes a 'conversion specifier', not a macro
   name. So you need this instead:

   \setuppublications[monthconversion=Romannumerals]


Finally, if you want to have 'short' keys in the publication list,
it makes sense to add a set up like this:

   \setuppublications[numbering=short,autohang=yes]
   \setuppublicationlist[samplesize=ZOFVI]


After all those changes, fixes, and workarounds, I ended up with the
attached files.

The normal place would be

    <texmf>/tex/context/user

in one of the <texmf> directories that is searched by context. You have
to re-run maketexlsr after adding files to that directory, and then
context should be able to find your files just like it knows where
knuth.tex etc. are.
