Vilayets (1864–1922)
Vilayets, between 1908 and 1912
The Vilayets were introduced with the promulgation of the "Vilayet Law" (Turkish: Teskil-i Vilayet Nizamnamesi)[10] in 1864, as part of the administrative reforms that were being enacted throughout the empire.[11]
Unlike the previous eyalet system, the 1864 law established a hierarchy of administrative units: the vilayet, liva/sanjak, kaza and village council, to which the 1871 Vilayet Law added the nabiye.[12] The 1864 law also specified the responsibilities of the governor (wali) of the vilayet and their councils.[12] At the same time, the law left to the governors vast scope for independent action as well as responsibility, as part of a system intended to achieve a large degree of efficiency in ruling the provinces. ..."

Has
I don't speak Serbian but I think I may help you with that ottoman word. An "has" means the land property of the sultan, prince or viziers. It allowed their owners to raise taxes and gain benefits from land farming. It was quite different from Timar or Zeâmet because they had no military purpose. This system is quite different from the Elayet administration. During the ottoman period the prefix "has" meant belonging to the sultan (ex: Hasoda=Sultan's chamber). Has gave two main signification in modern Turkey. 1st means Royal, belonging to the king and 2nd private property. Hope it will help you.
