 | | Blatensko Knezevstvo (833-885) was a Slavic duchy located in the western part of the Pannonian plain, between rivers Danube to its east and north, Drava and Mura to the south and Rab to the west. |
 | | The inhabitants of Blatensko Knezevstvo were most probably closely related to each of neighboring Slavic people: Moravians (Czechs) to the north-west, Karantanians (Slovenes) to the west, Slovakians to the north, Pannonian Croats to the south, Serbs to the south-east and Severans to the east, providing the bridge between those Slavic states and tribal unions. |
 | | The Slavic inhabitation of the Pannonia started in the 5th century after fall of the Hunic tribal union, but the most intense immigration was happening during the second half of the 6th century, as a part of the Avar tribal union (Avar Khaganate). |
