They are treated by the Sublime State in accordance with the conditions most suitable to their status. The provision stated in the thirteenth article of the newly issued imperial letter of agreement is as follows: Latin clergy are permitted to perform their religious rites in the churches that have remained in their possession since ancient times, and they should not be disturbed in any way that violates the imperial letter of agreement or Islamic law. However, this provision does not extend to churches that were not left in their possession after the conquest and does not grant them the right to reclaim such churches. In particular, churches that were demolished with the knowledge of religious authorities and for the sake of maintaining public order cannot, under any circumstances, be rebuilt according to Islamic law. The status of these churches and the noble decrees issued concerning them after the conquest are widely known. Under the requirements of Islamic law and the maintenance of public order, previously issued noble edicts cannot be altered or revoked; they must be enforced as they stand. The noble decrees that remain in the hands of the Latin clergy and that are in conformity with Islamic law and the content of the imperial letter of agreement shall remain valid. As long as they conduct themselves appropriately and do not interfere in the affairs of other dhimmi subjects, there shall be no intervention in their religious practices. In the case of old churches requiring repair or restoration, an investigation will be conducted according to Islamic legal requirements, and if permitted, new noble edicts shall be issued accordingly.</gams:text><qhod:isPartOf rdf:resource="https://gams.uni-graz.at/o:owip.rc.osm.N89.49" /></qhod:Text><qhod:Text rdf:about="https://gams.uni-graz.at/o:owip.rc.osm.N89.49#ab.27"><gams:text>The second article states that, for the Christian rite and Christian clergy, those who belong to the Roman Catholic denomination shall continue to benefit from the privileges granted to them within the well-protected domains.

As a result, they have been unable to pay the tribute they customarily provided in exchange for the protection of the sultan. Being in extreme poverty and hardship, they lacked the means to fulfill their financial obligations, and thus, out of imperial mercy, both past dues and the amounts required until the conclusion of the peace agreement have been pardoned. The lords of Dubrovnik shall be protected and safeguarded, and in order to enable them to meet their financial obligations, their tribute shall be mercifully reduced. Furthermore, the ports of Bosnia and Herzegovina shall be designated exclusively for their use, and the goods transported shall neither be brought to nor taken from the fortresses of Gabela and Nevesinje. Their borders shall remain contiguous with those of the Sublime State as they have been since ancient times, and they shall not be separated. These lords know that the sultanic decrees that will be granted to them from the grace of the sultan will have been granted in response to the requests of my imperial majesty, the ceaser, and his protection over them. The lords of Dubrovnik, during the time of war, remained under the ceaser’s protection and were safeguarded from numerous acts of aggression, oppression, deceit, and trickery. Let it be known that this city, which is of benefit to the Sublime State, shall be protected, preserved, and safeguarded by both parties in a manner that ensures mutual benefit and friendship for both sides. It is thus acknowledged that these provisions, being just, beneficial, and in accordance with the terms of the imperial letter of agreement, shall be implemented without delay, and their execution is expected without any doubt or hesitation.</gams:text><qhod:isPartOf rdf:resource="https://gams.uni-graz.at/o:owip.rc.osm.N89.49" /></qhod:Text><qhod:Text rdf:about="https://gams.uni-graz.at/o:owip.rc.osm.N89.49#ab.40"><gams:text>Graf Wolfgang (IV) zu Oettingen-Wallerstein</gams:text><qhod:isPartOf rdf:resource="https://gams.uni-graz.at/o:owip.rc.osm.N89.49" /></qhod:Text><qhod:Text rdf:about="https://gams.uni-graz.at/o:owip.rc.osm.N89.49#ab.41"><gams:text>The matter of prisoners shall be executed per the provisions of the imperial letter of agreement.</gams:text><qhod:isPartOf rdf:resource="https://gams.uni-graz.at/o:owip.rc.osm.N89.49" /></qhod:Text><qhod:Text rdf:about="https://gams.uni-graz.at/o:owip.rc.osm.N89.49#ab.42"><gams:text>According to a Turkish Pasha, who recently visited his Serene Highness Eugen Fürst zu Oettingen-Wallerstein, the parts written in black letters in the present document contain a note of the imperial ambassador to the Porte, and the parts in red script the reply from the latter.
