Summary/Abstract: Ilija Garasanin, Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Principality of Serbia (1852 / 3; 1861-1867) wrote two notes on Russian consuls in Serbia, G. I. Danilevsky and D. S. Levsin. It is difficult to determine when these notes were correctly written. Probably written in the seventh decade of the 19th century. Danilevski was consul in Serbia since the 1843rd until 1849, and Levšin of the 1849th to 1851. Garasanin notes are stored in the legacy of Lazar Arsenijevic Batalaka SANU Archives, Belgrade. The first note is described and the dispute between Garasanin and Danilevsky about a protocol. In another note described the Russian intrigues Levsin by Garasanin debunked. According Garasanin opinion, the main obstacle in relations between Serbia and Russia in the mid 19th century were Russian consuls in Serbia. They are rigid and bureaucratic attitude towards Serbian officials, especially the Garasanin.
