The Proclamation

The Proclamation

The Proclamation ("Proglašenije/Πρоглашеније") of 1809 refers to the political document of Serbian revolution which marked the foundation of modern Serbia. [ [http://www.douklia.net/povest/proglasenije.html Povest - Prikljucenije ] ] It was issued by Karadjordje in the newly appointed capital Belgrade, which represented the peak of the Serbian revolution. It called for unity of the Serbs, emphasising the importance of freedom of religion, Serbian history and the rule of law- all of which Ottoman Empire could not, or had denied to provide, being a non-secular Muslim state. It also called on Serbs to stop paying taxes to the Porte because they were based on religious affiliation of its subjects.
