Abstract
Partitioning, which was based on sanjak style in administrative structure of
the Ottoman Empire, continued to 19th century despite the presence of Ottoman
Empire’s states. However, the organization o f the state, which was taken place after
the Tanzimat Reforms, shaped with the basis of provincial administrative. After
Tanzimat Reforms, it could be seen some changes in the administrative ruling of the
states and also in the physical environment o f the states. All these changes were carried out for the sake of centralizing the administration. However in 19th century,
accelerated soil loss also brought a team of administrative regulations.
Prizren, one o f the important centers of the Balkans also received a portion of
administrative changes. Prizren, as being the center of sanjak until 19th century,
could get the state statue but some time sanjak statue, that happened according to the
conditions. With the results of reforms that were put in the practice in the
administrative side Prizren became a state in 1868 for a short time. But after a time,
for some reasons Prizren state was abolished than its territory first connected to
Manastir and after to Kosova. Prizren became one of the six sanjaks of Kosova.
1877-1878 Ottoman-Russian War and after the Berlin Treaty, the frequent changes
have been made in administrative structures in Prizren. Despite all these
developments, Prizren had never lost its sanjak’s statue during the Ottoman rule.
