User talk:Zoupan/Serbian salt customs

The salt customs (кумерк солски/kumerk solski, from comercium) was a salt taxation imposed by the medieval Serbian state on the the city and later republic of Ragusa. It was an annual tribute paid by Ragusa for the sale of salt. One half of the sum (at first 450 perpers, later 900) went to the Serbian monarch, the other to the local municipality.

The Serbian rulers established that salt may be sold at four determined places stretching from the Bojana river to the Neretva river; at Sveti Srđ, Dubrovnik, Kotor and Drijeva.
