Summary/Abstract: The improvement of the position felt by Orthodox Serbs after the adoption of liberal Hatti Humayun in 1856, and the Statute on the Administration of Church and People's affairs of Orthodox Christians in the Ecumenical Patriarchate in 1862, did not last long. Already with the arrival of the Austro- Hungarian occupation authorities, the competencies of the Serbian church - school municipalities were narrowing. The struggle of Orthodox Serbs for religious and educational autonomy in Bosnia and Herzegovina began in 1896. The leaders of the struggle tried on several occasions to point out to the ruler the reckless violation of the rights acquired during the Ottoman rule, as well as to various abuses committed by the authorities. At the same time work was done on formulating an act which would regulate the legal position of Serbian church - school municipalities. Ended in 1905 with the enactment of the Decree of the Church - Educational Administration of the Serbian Orthodox Dioceses (Metropolitanate) in Bosnia and Herzegovina, this struggle gave birth to the first representatives of Serbian civic policy subsequently organized in political parties.
