Talk:Serbs in Italy

improper synthesis
I'm removing the following two paragraphs:


 * When the Serbs claimed protection by Emperor Heraclius (r. 610-640), they were introduced to the Christian faith immediately by "Roman elders".

This has got nothing to do with Serbs in Italy. It's clearly a cultural contact between the peoples, but not in Italy.


 * After an Arab raid and subsequent sieges along the coast of Dalmatia in the late 860s, Emperor Basil I (r. 867–886) put the Slavs of Dalmatia under his suzerainty. He also enrolled many of the Serbs and other Slavic tribes as auxiliaries and sent them under his admiral Niketas Ooryphas to Apulia, where they participated in the siege of Arab-held Bari in 871, alongside western emperor Louis II.

This also shows no actual relevance to Serbs in Italy - there's no mention of e.g. those people involved in the siege remaining in Italy.
