Abstract

In this paper, the author starts from the insight of V. Delonga that the Croats were the strongest key tribe from which the Croatian nation emerged. Furthermore, the economically wealthy area of present-day Ravni Kotari, Nin, and the wider Zadar hinterland became the demographic core of the Croatian territory during the Middle Ages. For this reason, in medieval written history, the entire Ravni Kotari region (the medieval county of Luka) was called “v Hrvatih“ until the end of Ottoman rule.
Following this insight, the author seeks to determine the routes by which the Croats migrated to the territory of ancient Dalmatia from three core regions—Northern, Central, and Central-Eastern Europe—from lands stretching from the Elbe region across the Eastern Alps and the Carpathians (Subcarpathia, Transcarpathia) to the Black Sea.
