Abstract Basil I had serious plans about the ecclesiastical policy towards the Slavs of Greece,and highly developed idea to bring the ecclesiastical organization of the Croats and Serbs underthe control of Constantinople. In the case of Croatia — he had limited success — only between theend of 877 and first half of 879. In the case of Serbia he probably managed, since ca. 872/873 todissolve the previous ecclesiastical organization of the Roman Church and to link the Serbs closerto Constantinople. The same conclusion is valid for Dioclea. The Croat and Serb conversionrelated to Basil I and presented in Constantine Porphyrogenitus’ treatiseDe administrandoimperioandVita Basilii, came as an outcome of fighting over ecclesiastical rights in the formerpraefectura Illyricibetween Constantinople and Rome. It seems that Constantinople from thattime was enforcing his ecclesiastical domination over Serbia and Dioclea.
