Summary/Abstract: The paper is dedicated to Jovan Milinković, the agent of the Šabac region, and his Memoir on the activities of the Secret Organization of Ilija Garašanin in the eastern and northeastern parts of the Bosnian Eyalet (Bijeljina, Tuzla, Gradačac, Maglaj, Zvornik and Birač nahiya) in the period from the beginning of 1850 until the summer of 1851. The Memoir is so far the only known testimony of the immediate participant – the agent, about the work of the Secret Organization in the mid-19th century. The original manuscript is kept in the State Archives of Serbia in the Collection of Radoslav Perović. The paper presents Milinković’s most complete biography and his critically prepared and presented Memoir, which is one of the most important sources for studying the activities of Garašanin’s Secret Organization at the very beginning of the 1850s.
