My point included the fact that the East Roman/Byzantine emperor Basil the Second, known as Bulgar-Slayer for obvious reasons, subjected all the South Slavs up to the Danube in the early 11th century.Not really, most Balkan/South Slavs had already settled within Byzantine by this point. The Avars conquered the east Slavs, some Germanic tribes, Daco-Romans etc -
In any case, thee Balkan Slavs were subjected to foreign rule for much of their Balkan history, Avars initially , Ninth Century Franks in some western parts like Carinthia and Slovenia, Venetians on the coast and the Kingdom of Hungary inland and then finally the Ottomans from the 15th to early 20th centuries.
