Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes a historical record from the archives, the testimony of Dušan Slavić about Đuro Šarac and the organization of the Sarajevo assassination of Archduke Ferdinand. In order to place the document in the context of the event and check its credibility, it was necessary to examine the biography of Đuro Šarac, a theologian who, as one of the closest associates of military commander Tankosić, participated in the Balkan Wars and World War I and who was in the circle around Gavrilo Princip at the time of the Sarajevo assassination. A review is also given of the activities of Dušan Slavić and Marko Maletin, the author of the writings and the then secretary of Matica Srpska, who decided not to publish the document in 1928 when it was sent to him.
