Summary/Abstract: On the basis of a few Turkish registers of the borderline fortresses from the period, this work tries to explain the organization and the structure of a military border area (vojna krajina) within the Western borders of the Bosnian eyalet. The organization of the border area was manifested in two ways: a) in a special status of the border fortresses and the structure of their garrisons, and b) in the establishment of captaincies as military districts in the area, the organization of which was extended onto the whole interior of Bosnia.
