My direct paternal ancestry is from Grahovo near Nikšić according to oral tradition. That's near the territory of the Korjenići tribe from whom all the carriers of my haplogroup are rumoured to have originated. Of course not all prečani Serbs have origin from the Dinaric region. For example, my paternal grandmother's maiden surname was Stanarević. The original surname of that family was Stupar and they originated from somewhere in the western Pomoravlje area.
Based on what I know, I'd say around 5/8 of my ancestors lived in the 'core' Serbian territories during the Middle Ages.
