Sažetak
From the moment the territories of the Trebinje Diocese came under Ottoman rule, Dubrovnik Republic acted as protector of the Catholics there inhabited and their freedom of religion before the Ottoman authorities. These actions mainly implied the obtainment of fermans from the highest Ottoman authorities for the freedom of pastoral work of the Trebinje-Mrkan bishop and the clergy, generally needed when they were harassed either by the Ottoman authorities or the Orthodox hierarchy. The obtainment of ferman required high costs and painstaking diplomatic effort which was often known to last for a number of years. Particularly exhausting in terms of time and money was the attempt at obtaining the ferman for Bishop Anzelmo Katić (1760-1792), for which the Ragusans petitioned when he, his clerics and the Catholics of the Trebinje Diocese needed protection from the attacks of the Patriarch of Constantinople. This unpleasant episode prompted the Ragusans to supplicate for the ferman for Bishop Nikola Ferić (1792-1819) soon after his installation, in hope of a faster and smoother procedure. To their disappointment, the Ottomans insisted on the same line of action as with Bishop Katić, preceded by the obtainment of ilam and arz from the kadis and Bosnian pasha, which again called for considerable costs. Besides the usual, high expenses, Bosnian Husamuddin pasha set a particularly high price on the issue of his arz,which the Ragusans were not ready to pay. For this reason, the procedure was extended for several years. In all likelihood, the Ragusans obtained the ferman not sooner than the end of 1798, that is, once Husamuddin pasha left Bosnia.
