The article describes how the attitude of Bosnian Muslims toward the Ottoman Empire changed between 1850 and 1914. This was a very important period, as Turkish rule in Bosnia ended and Austro-Hungarian rule began. For some Bosnian elites, anti-Ottomanism was one of the elements of their national identity. The article is based on literature, as well as on archival materials found by the author in the archives in Sarajevo.

The article presents Poles' and Czechs' opinions on Bosnian Muslims at the turn of the 19th and 20th century. Historians would often use the diaries of English, German, French, and Russian travellers while similar sources by the authors from different countries were rarely analyzed. The article focuses above all on the Austro-Hungarian period, its starting point, however, are the times under the weakening Ottoman rule. Under the Habsburg administration, the society of Bosnia and Herzegovina was being modernized, and the nationalistic processes were being initiated.

Rad analizira razvoj činovništva u Dalmaciji u periodu druge austrijske uprave od 1814. do 1914., kada je počeo Prvi svjetski rat. Želimo pokazati kako se promijenila civilna administracija iz perspektive službenika koji su odgovarali za realizaciju politike uprave. Činovništvo je imalo veliki utjecaj, zato u historiografiji treba više govoriti o njemu. ; Historians often write in general about how a state or administration 'implemented' or 'introduced' reforms. Of course, an administration does make certain decisions but, in modern times, whole groups of officials are responsible for their realisation. This is the duty of the official apparatus. The success of a given reform is dependent not only on the theory prepared in the silence of the cabinet, but also on its implementation in practice. For this reason, it is important to understand who the officials were and what was their position in the Habsburg Monarchy, where the administration had been one of the most important lynchpins of the functioning of the state since the time of Maria Theresa and Joseph II. It was no different in Dalmatia, where, as we shall later see, every reform of the central authorities increased the number of sections and therefore the number of officials. Regardless, the topic of officials who worked in Dalmatia in the period of the second Austrian administration did not draw the appropriate attention of Yugoslav and Croatian historians until now. This paper analyses the development of the officialdom in Dalmatia during the 'second Austrian government', from 1814 to 1914, when World War I began. We wish to show how the civil administration changed from the perspective of the officials, who were responsible for the realisation of the administration's policies. The officialdom had a great influence, and deserves to be given more attention in historiography.

U radu se analizira austrougarska civilna uprava u Bosni i Hercegovini od 1878. do 1918. godine. Ipak, nije riječ o instituciji nego o službenicima, često strancima, koji su ondje radili. Činovnici višega i nižega reda bili su odgovorni za provođenje svih odluka koje su donijeli
političari u Beču ili Sarajevu. Oni su bili mostovi koji su spajali stanovnike Bosne i Hercegovine sa Zemaljskom vladom. U članku će se razmatrati njihov položaj u zemlji te njihov rad, ali i svakodnevni život jer su oni bili nova elita koja je modernizirala Bosnu i Hercegovinu na prijelazu iz XIX. u XX. stoljeće.

Attempt to create a Muslim-Serbian alliance during the struggle for the religious and educational autonomy in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1899–1902 The article explains the reasons why in 1899–1902 the Serbs wanted to form an alliance with the Muslims. During the Austro-Hungarian period, the Orthodox in Bosnia and Herzegovina fought for autonomy and religious schools. They needed an ally in their efforts; that is why they turned to the Muslims with an alliance proposal. They appealed to the Muslims because, since 1897, they had also fought with the ZMF (Zajedničko Ministarstvo Finansija) and governor of Bosnia Benjamin von Kàllay.
