Summary/Abstract: The article explains the reasons why in 1899–1902 the Serbs wanted to form an alliance with the Muslims. During the Austro-Hungarian period, the Orthodox in Bosnia and Herzegovina fought for autonomy and religious schools. They needed an ally in their efforts; that is why they turned to the Muslims with an alliance proposal. They appealed to the Muslims because, since 1897, they had also fought with the ZMF (Zajedničko Ministarstvo Finansija) and governor of Bosnia Benjamin von Kàllay.
