Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the demarcation process between the Principality of Serbia and the Ottoman Empire from 1830 until 1834. All activities of examining and measuring the land with the aim to draw the exact future border, have been presented in detail. The borderline was based on the line held by the Serbian rebels in 1812. The role of the Russian officers in the demarcation process has also been highlighted, as well as the work of the commission on drawing the final Serbian-Turkish border in 1834. The final part of the paper elaborates on determination of the borders of the nahiyes, which formed a part of socalled “torn-off lands”, i.e. the territories that became part of the Principality of Serbia after the demarcation. The statistical data on population in these nahiyes have also been given.
