Dubrovnik (Zahumjla-Herzegovine Eparchy): Church of the Annunciation of the Virgin (late 19th-Century): The second report said that it was "partly damaged" in 1992; the consultant knows that the roof was badly damaged by Federal artillery in 1991 and 1992; however, it is possible that stones were thrown through the windows of the façade.
There is also a very low level of destruction in the Bosanski Dabar eparchy (including Sarajevo), which is due in part to the rapidity with which much of the eastern area was secured by the BSA, and to the smaller Serbian population in the western part of the eparchy (central Bosnia).

In the 12th century, Prince Miroslav built the monastery to SS Peter and Paul, which served as the seat of the Humska eparchy from the mid 13th century.
He stated that Serbia from the mid 11th century, once and for all, united the regions of Raska, Duklja, and Travunia, and at times Zahumlje, Bosnia, and Neretljanska Principality were also pairs of this unified state organisation.
Duklja was the centre of development only in the 11th century, while in the 12th century Raska (the Serbia of the time) once again became the mainstay of development; the centre of development then started shifting towards the Morava valley, the Danube river and Macedonia.

On the grounds of this, Porphyrogenitus mentioned that within the boundaries of Czaslav's state and under the Serbian name lived the Bosnians, Rashani, Trebinjci, Konavljani, Dukljani, Zahumci, and Neretljani.[8] The same was pointed out by B. Grafenauer.
