Serafim Šolaja (1800—1853) was among the first Serbian clerics who supported Vuk Karadžić's language reform at the time. He wrote an article entitled "The Žitomislić Monastery in Herzegovina or the Miliradović Endowment", published in the "Serbian-Dalmatian Magazine" in 1846 that propagated the eventual success of Vuk's work. He wrote: "A particular flourishing of this literary kind (in which history, legend, tradition and novelistic prose intertwine) will occur with the advent of periodicals in Bosnia and Herzegovina immediately after the Austro-Hungarian occupation."
