The origin of the state assembly in medieval Serbia dates back to tribal gatherings of armed soldiers. There, decisions concerning every day life were made, including questions of organization, religion, the election of tribal elders and even the ruler himself. The role of the state assembly was of great importance when it came to the legalization of a new ruler, especially in the case of a violent change of ruler. The new ruler was supposed to have been chosen by the most notable representatives of the tribal aristocracy. During the 9th and 10th centuries, they were the backbone of this representative body. Over time, power relations between the members of this assembly changed and were contingent upon current events in the country.

| - The origin of the state assembly in medieval Serbia dates back to tribal gatherings of armed soldiers. There, decisions concerning every day life were made, including questions of organization, religion, the election of tribal elders and even the ruler himself. The role of the state assembly was of great importance when it came to the legalization of a new ruler, especially in the case of a violent change of ruler. The new ruler was supposed to have been chosen by the most notable representatives of the tribal aristocracy. During the 9th and 10th centuries, they were the backbone of this representative body. Over time, power relations between the members of this assembly changed and were contingent upon current events in the country. Terms "Assembly of Serbia" or "The whole assembly of Serbia" referred to the assembly of the Serbian orthodox church, while the terms "assembly of the fathers" or "assembly of the Serbian land" always referred to the state assembly. While Serbia gained power, her state institutions gained power as well. Among the first titles that rulers had was called „Great Župan“, while under him in the state hierarchy were aristocrats with the hereditary title of „Župan“. They were the representatives of the noble Serbian tribesmen. Warriors were also permitted to participate in the work of the assembly, only if the ruler asked them to do so. During the 12th and 13th centuries, representatives of the Raška episcopate, founded in 1020, started to participate. (en)
