Summary/Abstract: Based on provisions of the Conference in Kanlica of 1862, the Muslim population of Užice and Soko that refused to subjugate to the Principality of Serbia had to move to the area under direct Ottoman rule. A large number of Muslims of Serbian origin from Užice moved to Bosnia, primarily to its eastern part and Sarajevo, including some places of Bosanska krajina. A group of them, who were doubtless the poorest, found themselves in 1863 in Rogatica (kadiluk Čelebi-pazar) and lived on state benefits. The census, carried out by Mehmed Selim, administrator of kadiluk Čelebi-pazar, recorded by person all resettled muhajirs and their physical appearance, including the amount of monetary aid for each of them. The entire census is presented in the paper, in Turkish and Serbian.
