Miroslav Ćosović: The Collapse of the Slavs in Illyricum in late Middle Ages
In the late 19th and in the 20th century masses are beginning to learn in the schools the false ethno-history, which was consistent with political wishes and goals of Belgrade. Lesson in textbooks about what a disaster, even 600 years ago, happened to the real Serbs and Slavs, has never been really written. I guess in order to remain a myth.
By Miroslav ĆOSOVIĆ
To properly comprehend today's ethnic makeup and ethnogenesis of modern nations of Western Balkans we need to understand what in the same area occurred in the late 14th and during 15th century. Especially since the vast majority of scientists from the former Yugoslavia ignored the events of this period, although the history of this period is crucial for understanding of the process of formation of modern nations of the Western Balkans.
--> Here is the translation of the first few sentences, of the sub-heading "Robci i nemoć Slovena" / "Robtsi and weakness of the Slavs".
During the chaos that the Ottomans caused in Illyricum towards the end of 14th and the first half of the 15th century, there appeared locals that caught people and sold them into slavery. Such people are called "Robci" ('Robtsi').
There are plenty of documents in the Dubrovnik archives about the "Robci". Academician Sima Cirkovic in the book "Stefan Kosača and his time" (Belgrade, 1964), writes:
"Almost without exception all known 'Robci' are Vlachs. There are from large and well-known Katuns (Banjani, Maleševci, Bobani, Zupci), but there are many more of those that are simply called Vlachs."
