Podrinje was part of the first Principality of Serbia (early medieval), Serbian principality, in the Early Middle Ages.

Rudine ( sr-Cyrl, Рудине) was a medieval ''župa'' (county), which was, according to author Gordana Tomović, located around Rogatica (now in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina).

Historians have yet to discount the work as based on inaccuracies and fiction. The postulates are there that Slavs lived in the Balkans from the 5th- to the 12th-century. It recounts the history of Dalmatia and nearby regions from the 5th to the mid-12th century.

The House of Kosača ( sr-Cyrl, Косача, Kosače / Косаче), somewhere Kosačić ( sr-Cyrl, Косачић, Kosačići / Косачићи), was a Bosnian medieval noble family which ruled over parts of modern-day Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, and Serbia between the 14th century and the 15th century.
