Summary/Abstract: In January 1894, Mihailo G. Ristic was a secretary of Serbian Legation in Constantinople, while his friend Svetislav Simic was a secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affaires. Three letters from Ristic to Simic contain very interesting data on changes of the political situation in Serbia as well as in Serbian foreign affaires as a result of the return of ex– king Milan Obrenovic to country. Ristic expressed his views on political situation in Serbia and current events in Constantinople. He has also expressed his doubts about the new administration and preservation of Serbian achievements in Turkey. He has tried not to assess changes from the personal point of view, but according to the objectives of Serbian foreign policy, which was in jeopardy.
