Abstract	The recently approved FWF Austrian Science Fund Project P 30384-G28 'Byzantino-Serbian Border Zones in Transition: Migration and Elite Change in Pre-Ottoman Macedonia (c. 1282–1355)' focuses on societies in medieval South-East Europe, namely in pre-Ottoman (i.e. Byzantine) Macedonia, and adresses the memory of Byzantine power and politics in this very area in the wake of the expansion of the Serbian medieval kingdom during the 13th and 14th centuries.
