century to the beginning of the 8th century. The village was founded most
probably by
Berziti, who had
adopted Christianity. The first settlement was originally at the foot of the
Jablanica mountain. It was believed to have been founded in a place known as
Selište (Old Church Slavonic).
However, newest archaeological researches show that the village was there at
least in second century B.C. It can not be excluded that somewhere in 6th
century newly settled village Seliste merged with the long existing village.
Crucial fact is that right above the village remaining of
Roman
camp have been found, and history
states that Romans usually camped near villages to be able to get supplies.

After the Battle of Kosovo, the area was under
