Summary/Abstract: The information about the financing of the state security service of the Principality of Serbia from 1844 represents a rare and precious trace about the conspiratory activity of Police Minister Ilija Garašanin. Known as the writer of the document called Načertanije, the experienced Police Minister was inclined to bold and innovative solutions. The same year when the secret programme of the unification of Serbian lands was created, Garašanin proposed to the State Council, as the most influential political body in the country, to allocate a sum of three–four thousand ducats annually. This amount was to be used to finance a special service of the secret police tasked primarily with protecting constitutionality and preventing coup d’état plans of the recently overthrown Obrenović dynasty. This was the inception of the institution of the political police, a secret service which existed in the majority of other European monarchies of the time.
