Summary/Abstract: This contribution looks at the development perspectives of Mostar in the first half of the 17th century. It points to the continuation of the urbanization process that took place successfully in that city despite a series of aggravating circumstances. In this regard, the role of two Mostar vakifs is emphasized: defterdar Koski Mehmed Pasha and roznameji Ibrahim Effendi. With an insight into the relevant historical sources, the author provides valuable information about the flourishing of local craftsmanship, as well as the business successes of Mostar merchants who make their way to the overseas market with their products. A high level of cultural and educational life was also confirmed for the treated time frame. In the end, it was noted that the aforementioned development trends in Mostar were maintained almost until the middle of the 17th century, that is, until the beginning of the Ottoman-Venetian Kandian War (1645-1669).
