Summary/Abstract: The paper is the translation, analysis and transcription of the recommendation letter Cardinal Kollonitsch wrote in favour of the appointment of Marko Zorčić as the new Greek-Catholic Bishop of Marča in July 1687. The text brings a short historical overview of the Greek-Catholic Union in Croatia, from the very beginning to 1687. The letter also brings details about the election of Marko Zorčić, the religious situation in the Croatian Borderlands and relations between the Habsburg Court and the Holy See in Rome. It is the first complete published translation and analysis of the letter and, therefore, a contribution to the study of the Greek-Catholic Union in the Croatian Frontier.
