Два прилога за историју православне цркве у Босни
Two Supplements to the History of the Orthodox Church in Bosnia

Summary/Abstract: In the first half of the 19th century the Ottoman Empire faced several national uprisings and revolutions in the European periphery countries as well as the opposition of conservative Muslim circles and local pashas to the reforms that Sultan Mahmud II started implementing. In order to solve these problems, Porta engaged not only military, but also other resources. The Ecumenical Patriarchate, so, reluctantly had to accept the role of a mediator for a peaceful surrender of Serbian rebels. A letter sent by an anonymous author in 1812th to an unknown recepient, informing him that church officials were ordered to abide by orders of Sofia Nazir Mustapha Rashid - Effendi speaks of such a relationship. In the thirties of the 19th century Bosnia Eyalet was also affected by Muslim as well as Orthodox Christian rebellions. Another source attached suggests in which way Ottoman authorities removed their opponents from the ranks of the Orthodox clergy and took under control dervishes who showed dissent and disobedience to the holders of local government functions.
