Budžet gradske Općine Gračanica za 1901. godinu
Budget of the City Municipality of Gračanica for 1901

Summary/Abstract: The budget of the city administration of the Gračanica municipality for 1901 shows that the city of Gračanica back then had costs (needs) and revenues (coverages) which were typical for other urban areas of Bosnia and Herzegovina. As the city administration could not hope for any grants, the city councilors with Mayor Ganibeg Muftić carefully considered all planned costs and always tried to save at least one crown. The needs calculation for 1901 shows that they were quite realistic in estimating revenues and expenditures, further supported by the fact there were no changes in the figures calculated by the city administration on the higher administrative instances. During the session of the city council of Gračanica these were unanimously adopted. The budget speaks for itself and it should not be seen as a mere figure or calculation, but as a picture of life at that time. Life in the city was modest, the city administration tried to balance the revenues and expenditures, loans were taken with the Regional (Zemaljska) bank in Sarajevo, which were duly repaid.
