Summary/Abstract: The historiography used to consider that the fall of Serbia (1459) and of Bosnia (1463) under Ottoman rule led consequently to the subjection of the Serbian Church in those areas to the jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Ohrid. However, such an assertion is not justified. No Sultan's Ferman exist concerning the abolition of the Serbian Patriarchate and its subjection to the Ohrid Archbishopric. The Ottoman Turks did not abolish the independence of the Serbian Church, but rather accepted it by imposing a tribute on the authorities of the Patriarchate.
