ДРУШТВЕНОПОЛИТИЧКИ СТАТУС СРБА У ХАБЗБУРШКОЈ МОНАРХИЈИ – ОД ЛЕОПОЛДОВСКИХ ПРИВИЛЕГИЈА ДО ДЕКЛАРАТОРИЈЕ
SOCIO-POLITICAL STATUS OF SERBS IN THE HABSBURG MONARCHY FROM THE PRIVILEGES OF LEOPOLD TO DECLARATORIA

Summary/Abstract: The authors begin with the defining of the Serbian privileges 1690-1695 and their different interpretations by the Austrian (imperial) and Hungarian (county) government. For the Viennese court, Serbs were a nation (natio Rascianica), while for the Hungarian classes they were just a recognized religious group living in the ancient Hungarian territory. Because of these two different opinions, the privileges were the most important thing for the Serbs living in the territory of Hungary. At the same time, the Viennese court repeatedly upheld Serbian privileged status, but with various restrictive clauses. Serbian privileges were considerably reduced over time and, finally, in the seventies of the 18th century they were completely devalued.
