Summary/Abstract: Resistance to the Austro-Hungarian occupation in Bosnia and Herzegovina was a clear sign that the new authorities were not welcomed by all residents. The numerous problems and attempts of the Land government to prevent and influence them resulted in the formation of a state spy network that infiltrated into various social, social and religious groups. This work through confidential reports indicates spying patterns, persons of interest, and in particular issues that were critical in regular spy reports. The numerous issues that spies dealt with in their reports have been readily presented, and the focus is on showing the spying patterns, perssons of interest, and the relationship of the spies themselves with the authorities. Since the spy network was not active only on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the author also paid special attention to reports from other cities as well as to the topics that were crucial to them.
