Summary/Abstract: This paper presents original data from which one can see the engagement of Mustafa Bey Milivojević in the position of Ottoman governor in the Herzegovinian Sanjak on three occasions. He is a descendant of a distinguished family from the period of the Bosnian Kingdom, whose profile, as such, was responsible for the stabilization of the newly established Ottoman government. He was responsible for the urbanization of Foča and the arrangement of long-term relations with the Ottoman vassals from Dubrovnik, precisely when the Ottoman rule was consolidating in the immediate hinterland of Dubrovnik. Using the chronological method and through the viewpoint of the nearby Dubrovnik residents, Mustafa Bey’s position of a sanjak-bey of Herzegovina during the last two decades of the 15th century is followed.
