Serbian term or phrase: banacanske kocije
Zna li neko sta su mogle biti banacanske kocije krajem 19. pocetkom 20. veka? Taljige? Pojavljuje se jednom u recenici:
"I tako jednog jesenjeg dana 1879 god. sednu obe na jedne banacanske kocije, sa nesto starog namestaja donesenog iz Beckereka i dodju u Pancevo. "

Ogromno hvala svim pravim Lalama :-)

banaćanske kočije
horse-drawn carriage (from Banat)


Explanation:
Most of the terms used for horse-drawn vehicles at the end of 19th centuries are nowadays used for motor vehicles, so adding "horse-drawn" helps avoiding potential confusion.
At that time it would have been probably been a "coach" or a variant of "hansom cab" or "hackney carriage".
No idea if there was a special model specific to the Banat region, and if it's worth mentioning.

Notes to answerer
Asker: hansom cab ili hackney carriage nisu mogle nositi namestaj, pa ni coach, obicno su bili za prevoz putnika. Zato pitam Banacane, jer mislim da su taljige ali nisam sigurna (seoska zaprezna kola)...
