Sultan Mustafa III ordered the abolition of the Serbian Patriarchate of Peć in 1766, collapsing the institution and transferring its Ottoman-ruled territory to Constantinople.
The Serbian Patriarchate of Peć collapsed in 1766 when it was abolished by Sultan Mustafa III, who reigned from 1757 to 1774. The decree ended the patriarchate's second existence, which had run since its 1557 restoration. Following the abolition, the entire territory of the Serbian Patriarchate under Ottoman rule was placed under the jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople. The supplied sources date the collapse only to the year 1766 and do not specify a month or day for the decree.
