Annotation: Medieval Serbia and Bosnia were in direct contact with Western Europe and Byzantium. Bosnia was part of Rascia (Serbia) until the middle of the 10th century, and since then it has embarked on the path of independent development. At that time, Bosnia was under Byzantine domination, and later, by virtue of Hungary, Western influence prevailed. Both Western and Byzantine influences are visible in medieval Serbia. Since the time of Stefan Nemanja and his son Sava (Saint Sava), Byzantine influence has prevailed. The dual, Western and Byzantine influences on medieval Serbia and Bosnia will be presented through the analysis of four issues: state system, social organization, the penal system and the spiritual (ecclesiastical) area.
