	Raska and Kosovo
		Serbia's (Raska's) opportunity to firmly establish its cultural presence in the Byzantine-dominated Balkans came with Serbia's methodical consolidation of her rise as a political power under a single and powerful leader.
		This evolution in Serbia's medieval history was particularly active in the latter half of the 12th century, when the Latin West, led by the Venetians, struck against Byzantium during the Fourth Crusade and finally sacked Constantinople in 1204.
		Nemanja, the founder of Serbian medieval statehood, deserves the credit for not missing the chance to advance the Serbian cause politically, and his son Sava was equally responsible for expanding Serbia in the realm of culture and art.

	Medieval Bosnia - HERCEG BOSNA :: Croats of Bosnia and Herzegovina ::
		In the latter part of medieval times, Bosnia in 1377 became the Bosnian kingdom (Regnum Bosnae), and the dominating orientation was an allegiance to the crown and the state.
		The initial Serb influences, as indicated by first documents on medieval Bosnia, were from 12th Century almost completely drowned out by authentic domestic influences, including the development of the state and the "Bosnian church".
		The "ahdnama" issued by the Sultan Mohammed II in 1463, allowed the Bosnian Franciscans a limited scope, but albeit important, within which to conduct their activities under the Ottoman rule.70 The ethno-cultural bridge linking Croats in Bosnia to their brethren in Croatia was thus not severed, even during the most difficult period of history.

	Medieval Serb State of Zeta
		Serb medieval lands were: Raska, Zeta (Duklja), Bosna, Travunija, Zahumlje and Paganija.
