Vlachs Of Serbia
The Vlachs (endonym: ''Rumînji'' or ''Rumâni'', sr, Власи, Vlasi) are a Romanian-speaking ethnic minority in eastern Serbia with an origin from Wallachia (now part of Romania). They mostly live in the Eastern Serbia region (roughly corresponding to the districts of Bor and Zaječar), but also in Braničevo and Pomoravlje districts. A small Vlach population also exists in Smederevo and Velika Plana (Podunavlje District), and in the municipalities of Aleksinac and Kruševac (Rasina District).

Vlach was later used to describe not only a member of the population but some occupations like guardian soldiers or frontier troops and cattleman, as they were jobs required in the medieval era. Eventually, the various ethnic groups under the label mixed a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
