ТРГОВИЈАТА ВО БИТОЛА ВО ПЕРИОДОТ ДЕКЕМВРИ 1871 – ЈУЛИ 1878 ГОДИНА (СПОРЕД АВСТРОУНГАРСКИТЕ КОНЗУЛАРНИ ИЗВЕШТАИ)
The Trade in Bitola in the Period from December 1871 to July 1878 (according to the Austro-Hungarian Consular Reports)

Summary/Abstract: The Austrian Monarchy, and later the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, paid a lot of attention to the economic situation in the European part of the Ottoman Empire, and to that of Macedonia in particular. Reports of diplomatic representatives in Bitola (Monastir) between December 1871 and July 1878 can serve as a confirmation of this interest. The reports by Petar Okuli and Franc von Knapich, its two consuls at the time, are proof of how important the information on the economic life of the city and its immediate surroundings was to the Monarchy. Detailed reports on trade traffic and economic life in Bitola were regularly sent from this consulate, to the higher instances, first to the Austro-Hungarian Consulate in Salonica and later directly to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Austria-Hungary. In this article we rely on archival documents to present an overview of the goods that were imported and exported from the city, and of its economic life.
