The authors begin with the defining of the Serbian privileges 1690-1695 and
their different interpretations by the Austrian (imperial) and Hungarian
(county) government. For the Viennese court, Serbs were a nation (natio
Rascianica), while for the Hungarian classes they were just a recognized
religious group living in the ancient Hungarian territory. Because of these
two different opinions, the privileges were the most important thing for the
Serbs living in the territory of Hungary. At the same time, the Viennese
court repeatedly upheld Serbian privileged status, but with various
restrictive clauses. Serbian privileges were considerably reduced over time
and, finally, in the seventies of the 18th century they were completely
devalued.
