This important historical study by Johann Christoph von Bartenstein, one of the leading statesmen and advisors of the Habsburg Monarchy in the 18th century, presents a political-administrative report on the position of the so-called of the Illyrian people, i.e. the South Slavic population (predominantly Serbs and Croats), within the empire.
Created within the framework of the Habsburg policy towards the South Slavs, the "Short Report" provides valuable insight into the demographic, social and religious conditions in the populated areas, but also into the ideological and political views of the Habsburg elites towards the "Illyrians" in the 18th century.

The book is valuable for historians, philologists, researchers of South Slavic identities and anyone interested in the history of the Habsburg Monarchy and the South Slavs.
