Rehabilitacija degradiranog Mustafa-paše Daltabana u Bosni ratne 1698. godine
The Rehabilitation of the Degraded Mustafa Pasha Daltaban in Bosnia During the War in 1698

Summary/Abstract: This paper provides an overview of the conditions in the Bosnian Eyalet during the last year of the Battle of Vienna (1683-1699). We focus on the activities of the degraded vizier Daltaban Mustafa Pasha, who found himself in the position of Bosnian wali under specific circumstances at the beginning of 1698. Mustafa Pasha proved to be an advocate of prolonging the war, undertaking a whole series of actions in which he tried to regain the reputation he had lost in the previous period. At that time, it was primary for him to prevent (new) Habsburg and Venetian military incursions into Bosnia, in fact, to protect the borders of the eyalet entrusted to him. It can be said that with good coordination with the Sublime Porte, he succeeded in that endeavor. Mustafa Pasha’s results achieved in 1698 enabled the resurgence of his career, which had an unfortunate end not long after the end of the Battle of Vienna.
