In the second half of 14th century Zeta becomes independent from the central rule of the Serbian state and continues to exist as an independent feudal state, first under the the Balsics and later under the Crnojevics dynasties.
With the ascend of the Crnojevics, Zeta - Montenegro (the name given after the dark, coniferous forests upon the move of the Zetans towards the massif of Mt. Lovcen, to Cetinje) as of that time - was constituted as a state whose social system was a mixture of feudal and tribal elements.

In this way the boundary between the province of Dalmatia and the Balkan peninsula proper ran from near the lake of Scutari in the south to the river Drinus (the modern Drina), whose course it followed till the Save was reached in the north.
According to Bulgarian historians, the basins of the rivers Volga and Don and the steppes of eastern Russia proved too confined a space for the legitimate development of Bulgarian energy, and expansion to the west was decided on.

The lands of the Serbian despots stretched from the Sava and Danube down to Sar- planina and Lake Scutari, and they were centralized in the north: Belgrade was the capital during the reign of Stefan Lazarevic, and Smederevo during the reign of Djuradj Brankovic (1427-1456).
