Raška (region)
Videos
Raška is a geographical and historical region of Serbia. Initially a small borderline district between early medieval Serbia and Bulgaria, since the mid-12th century became the center of the Grand Principality of Serbia and of the Serbian Kingdom. From that period the name of Raška became associated with the state of Serbia, eventually covering the south-western parts of modern Serbia, and historically also including north-eastern parts of modern Montenegro, and some of the most eastern parts of modern Bosnia and Herzegovina, and its southern part also corresponds to the modern region of Sandžak.
