Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses the role of Recep Pasha of Nevesinje in the Vienna war (1683-1699). Historical sources indicate that the military engagement of this Ottoman official of local origin was mainly related to the area of the Bosnian eyalet. Recep Pasha became particularly remarkable by performing functions of the muhafiz (commander of defense) of Trebinje and the Herzegovinian sanjak bey. The focus of the Pasha’s contribution was providing of security of the southern borders of eyalet, thereby preventing significant expansion of the Venetian from Dalmatia and Boka. Finally, there is a brief review of the Recep Pasha’s postwar activities, which were interrupted due to the fact that he was murdered in the spring of 1703.
