  • Béni Kállay de Nagy-Kálló or Benjamin von Kállay (December 22, 1839 - July 13, 1903), Austro-Hungarian statesman, was born at Budapest. His family derived their name from their estates at Nagykálló, in Szabolcs, and claimed descent from the Balogh Semsen tribe, which colonized the counties of Borsod, Szabolcs, and Szatmár, at the close of the 9th century, when the Magyars conquered Hungary. They played a prominent part in Hungarian history as early as the reign of Coloman of Hungary (1070-1116); and from King Matthias Corvinus (1458-1490) they received their estates at Mezőtúr, near Kecskemét, granted to Michael Kállay for his heroic defence of Jajce in Bosnia. Benjamin von Kállay's father, who was a superior official of the Hungarian Government, died in 1845, and his widow, who survived until 1903, devoted herself to the education of her son. At an early age Kállay manifested a deep interest in politics, and especially in the Eastern Question. He travelled in Russia, European Turkey and Asia Minor, gaining a thorough knowledge of Greek, Turkish and several Slavic languages. He became as proficient in Bosnian as in his native tongue. In 1867 he entered the Hungarian Diet as Conservative deputy for Mühlbach (Szászsebes); in 1869 he was appointed consul-general at Belgrade; and in 1872 he visited Bosnia for the first time. His views on Balkan questions strongly influenced Count Andrássy, the Austro-Hungarian minister for foreign affairs. Leaving Belgrade in 1875, he resumed his seat in the Diet, and shortly afterwards founded the journal Kélet Nepe, or Eastern Folk, in which he defended the vigorous policy of Andrássy. After the Russo-Turkish War of 1878 he went to Plovdiv as Austro-Hungarian envoy extraordinary on the International Eastern Rumelian Commission. In 1879 he became second, and soon afterwards first, departmental chief at the foreign office in Vienna. On 4 June 1882 he was appointed Austro-Hungarian ministry of finance and administrator of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the distinction with which he filled this office, for a period of 21 years, is his chief title of fame. Kállay was an honorary member of the Budapest and Vienna academies of science, and attained some eminence as a writer. He translated John Stuart Mill's On Liberty into Hungarian, adding an introductory critique; while his version of Galatea, a play by the Greek dramatist Spiridion N. Basiliades (1843-1874), proved successful on the Hungarian stage. His monographs on Serbian history (Geschichte der Serben) and on the Oriental ambition of Russia (Die Orientpolitik Russlands) were translated into German by J. H. Schwicker and published at Leipzig in 1878. But, in his own opinion, his masterpiece was an academic oration on the political and geographical position of Hungary as a link between East and West. In 1873 Kállay married the countess Vilma Bethlen, who bore him two daughters and a son. His popularity in Bosnia was partly due to the tact and personal charm of his wife. He died on 13 July 1903.

In zijn leven maakte hij veel reizen doorheen Rusland, Europees Turkije en Anatolië en op die manier verwierf hij kennis van het Grieks, Turks en verschillende Slavische talen. Zo sprak hij vloeiend Servisch. In 1873 huwde von Kállay gravin Vilma Bethlen, met wie hij twee dochters en een zoon kreeg. De populariteit die hij later zou genieten in Bosnië had hij voor een groot stuk te danken aan de tact en de charmes van zijn echtgenote. Hij stierf op 13 juli 1903.
  • Benjamin Kállay var en østerrikskungarsk embetsmann som ble født i Budapest. Familienavnet hans stammer fra deres eiendommer ved Nagykálló i Szabolcs og hevdet at de var etterkommere av Balogh Semsen klanen som koloniserte kommunene Borsod, Szabolcs, og Szatmár på slutten av 800-tallet. De spilte en viktig rolle i Ungarsk historie allerede fra 1000-tallet. Kong Matthias Corvinus av Ungarn (1458-1490) skjenket dem deres eiendommer i Mezőtúr nær Kecskemét pga Michael Kállay sin heroiske innsats i krig. Faren til Benjamin von Kállay, var en høytstående mann i den ungarske regjeringen og døde i 1845, da Kallay bare var 6 år. Moren hans konsentrerte seg om hans utdanning. Hun døde i 1903. Kalláy viste tidlig en interesse i politikk, spesielt i Øst-Europa. Han reiste til Russland, Tyrkia og Anatolia. Under sine reiser lærte han å kjenne tyrkisk, gresk og flere slaviske språk. Han snakket serbisk flytende. I 1867 entret han politikken i Ungarn, og i 1869 ble han utnevnt til generalkonsul i Beograd, og i 1872 besøkte han Bosnia for første gang. Hans syn på Balkan påvirket sterkt Greve Andrássy, den østerrikskungarske utenriksministeren. Kalláy forlot Beograd i 1875 og returnerte til Budapest. Like etterpå startet han journalen Kelet Népe (Østlige folk) der han forsvarte policyen til Gyula Andrássy. Etter krigen mellom Russland og Tyrkia dro han til Philippopolis som Østerrike-Ungarns representant til International Eastern Rumelian Commission. I 1879 ble han sjef for utenrikskontoret i Wien. 4. juni 1882 ble han utnevnt til Imperial Finansminister og administrator av Bosnia-Hercegovina, en stilling han hadde i 21 år. Kalláy var også en forfatter og var æresmedlem av flere akademier i Budapest og Wien. Han oversatte noen bøker og skrev egne verk. Blant disse var han monografier på serbisk historie (Geschichte der Serben), og på den orientalske ambisjonen til Russland (Die Orientpolitik Russlands). Begge disse bøkene ble oversatt til tysk og utgitt i Lepzig i 1878. Han selv mente at hans største verk var en akademisk tale om den politiske og geografiske posisjonen til Ungarn som et bindeledd mellom øst og vest. I 1873 giftet han seg med Grevinnen Vilma Bethlen, og sammen fikk de to døtre og en sønn. Hans popularitet i Bosnia var delvis pga. hans kone og hennes sjarm og personlighet.
