Summary/Abstract: The financial reports and the budget of the Sabor (Parliamentary) Committee for the Fruška gora monasteries during 1906-1907 indicated that there were numerous problems concerning the financial resources required for the preservation of these significant monuments of Serbian culture and spirituality. Some of the monasteries were not capable of sustaining their fraternities or of bearing the financial burden of their immovable properties. When this is joined with the poor state of the finances of the Parliamentary Committee due to constant conflicts between radicals and conservatives and the irresponsible fiscal policy of many officials of the metropolis, it is evident that the Fruška gora monasteries had to survive serious economic crises year by year.
