About Drina
Drina was a medieval župa (parish), and later zemlja, located in what is now Podrinje, the region in the Drina river valley, shared by (eastern) Bosnia and Herzegovina and (western) Serbia. Its location and spreading is unclear, although assumed to be located in middle and upper course of the river Drina, on its left bank in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Podrinje was part of the first Serbian principality, in the Early Middle Ages. John Kinnamos (1143–1185) noted that the river Drina separated Bosnia from Serbia, while one Papal document from 1187 erroneously identified Bosnia as part of Serbia. Early medieval Bosnian state included regions on the left bank of the Drina, where the župa was located. Bosnian noble family of Pavlović ruled the region, along with other feudal possessions that extended from the middle and Upper Drina river to the south-southeastern regions of the Bosnian realm in Hum and Konavle at the Adriatic coast.
