Summary/Abstract: The paper presents a report written by Vasilije Đorđević, a merchant from Priština and Serbia’s confidential agent, on 10/22 July 1854. The report contains valuable data about various problems that Serbs in Old Serbia confronted at the time. The most frequent problems concerned the islamization of girls and women, as well as the disgraceful behavior of certain members of the Orthodox clergy. Careful reading, however, provides a deep insight into the functioning of the Tanzimat in the covered region.
