White Serbia

white , also known Serbia under the name of Bojka (in Serb Cyrillic: Бојка), is the old name of the Lusace. It is an area of Eastern Germany, in the south-east of Berlin between the rivers of the Elba and the Saale. Its inhabitants are called the Serbes white. Today one names the area the Lusace, and she is inhabited by Serb the Sorabe S or of Lusace. The area in the east of white Serbia is known as being the white Croatia, today more in the east one finds literally the Bielorussia White Russia.

Between 610 and 641, part of the Serb white emigrated in the Byzantine Empire, carried out by the Prince de Serbie Blanche to help Constantinople in its fight against the Avars. In reward of their victories against Avars of Dalmatie, the Serb white were installed initially by the emperor Héraclius in the province of Byzantine Macedonia, with Thessalonique.

The Serb white in fact were regarded as the Federate ones of the Roman Empire of the East.

Later, the Serb white also settled in:

Paganie,
Zachlumie,
Travonie,
Dioclée,
and Rascie.

Thereafter one did not speak any more Serb white but, according to the religion chosen, of Serb, Montenegrins, Bosnians or Croats. After the Great schism of the East, the Serb white adopting the Catholicisme became Croats, and remained Serb if they kept the orthodoxe faith .

The Serb ones of white Serbia are nowadays called the Sorabe S. They succeeded in preserving their cultural language and their traditions although their minority does not cease being reduced.
