 In front of this huge decision Arsenije III organized the ecclesiastical and national gathering in Belgrade ("Beogradski sabor") that met on 18 June and decided to accept Leopold as Serbian king, continuing the war against the Turks but only on clear conditions that were sent to Vienna.Based on these, and in grave need of soldiers and farmers, on 21 August, Leopold issued his first "Chapter on Privileges" in which he recognizes Serbs within the Habsburg Monarchy as a separate political entity ("corpus separatum") under the Serbian Orthodox Church.This edict guaranteed them national and religious singularity and certain rights and freedoms in the Habsburg Monarchy.
