Ragusa is an important capture for Serbia. Despite being a Catholic province in an otherwise Orthodox Serbia, it is a minor trade node on the Adriatic Sea that is now under King Durad's control. It is a small step in the line of creating a trade network, but it is a step nonetheless.
Here are the Serbian lands, just a shade under five years into the proceedings. Remember that the three remaining Bosnian provinces to the west and Wallachia to the east are all vassals under Serbian rule.
