The enclosed document is also transliterated, transcripted and translated in to Serbian language. The manuscript, the object of our work, are written in Cyrillic Church Slavonic language, in the traditional unreformed civil Cyrillic (interpretation of office latin). To date, work has not been published. The text of the manuscript is written in italics Russian and are amended with some individual graphemes which mark typical Serbian phonological system. Some text оf letters are provided with Serbian acronyms. He served as official letter and contains provisions and regulations (notes, various correspondence, etc.). The Serbian manuscript represents a valuable testimony to the socio-political events both in the Habsburg monarchy and among Serbs, pointing to the imperial attitude of the authorities towards the Orthodox world, their expectations and orders (travel facilities, school organization, voluntary collect contributions, etc.). In addition, the emphasis on moral values and calling to obey the imperial will, points out to the fact that in the late 18th century Serbian society in the territory of South Hungary still distinctly theocratic, although Regulation of 1777 restricted the political power of the church. These work is an original contribution to proving Serbian preservation, their identity in other countries, until specificall contexts and their contribution in the cultural, religious and social life of the Romanian Banat through 18th and 19th century.
