Origin hypotheses of the Serbs

The Serbs trace their history to the 6th- and 7th-century migrations of Early Slavs to south-eastern Europe. Settling in various parts of the Balkans, Early Slavs assimilated local Byzantine populations (primarily descendants of different paleo-Balkan peoples) and other former Roman citizens. Their descendants later coalesced into different Balkan Slavic medieval states.
