This contribution treating a lesser-known part of Isidora Sekulić's biography (1877-1958) highlights several documents (published for the first time) on her admission to Serbian citizenship. Isidora Sekulić had been employed as a teacher in the Senior Girls' School in Šabac in 1909. Like every other citizen, she had to become a Serbian subject and get Serbian citizenship in order to gain permanent employment in the civil service and the right to pension. She first had to be dismissed from Hungarian citizenship. After a long procedure, she received Serbian citizenship in 1910. Among the published documents is also the Oath, which was repeated by Isidora Sekulić at her swear-in ceremony during the admission to Serbian citizenship before a priest in Šabac. The overall contribution also brings several unknown biographic details from Isidora Sekulić's life.
