Abstract
his paper, along with a short introduction on the Habsburg anti-Ottoman offensive during the Great (Vienna) war (1683-1699), brings a translation of the memorandum of the Serbian diplomat and adventurer Đorđe Branković from 1688 addressed to the Habsburg king and emperor, Leopold I. In it, Branković offers his aid to the emperor in his conquests against the Ottomans and seeks the foundation of the «Illyrian Kingdom» in the area of South-Eastern Europe which was liberated from the Ottomans, under the dynasty of Branković. This kingdom would be, according to Branković, a friend to the Habsburg Monarchy and its faithful ally.
