The paper presents a specific administrative division and the organization of Ottoman authorities in the Balkan Peninsula, and primarily in the South Slavic area. The issues of the formation, arrangement and administrative-administrative division of individual provinces of the Ottoman Empire have multiple relevance for historical, legal and administrative science. The illumination of these issues is important from the point of view of the administrative and administrative history of all those countries and peoples who have lived in the Ottoman Empire for a longer or shorter period of time. Knowing the administrative division is often imposed as a prerequisite for proper understanding and successful resolution of some key issues, processes and cognitions.
