The units in this article look dubious

The units presented in this article look dubious. "Archine" is probably meant to be aršin. "Drachm" is who knows what. "Oka" was definitely used in Serbia, but this was a legacy of the Ottoman Empire. That is, Serbia used the Turkish oka. There was no such thing as a Serbian oka. Who knows what a "litra" is? I've looked at the reference: Clarke, F.W. (1891). Weights Measures and Money of All Nations. New York: D. Appleton & Company, and this article seems to faithfully copy that reference book. But I question the usefulness and truthfulness of the reference source itself. This article needs a lot of rework by someone who speaks Serbian and who has access to Serbian sources.
