The Slavic group that settled in the regions of Bulgaria, Macedonia, and northern Greece were the Antae.12
During the 6th and 7th centuries CE, as the Byzantine Empire was preoccupied with conflicts in the east, various Slavic tribes moved into the Balkan Peninsula. While the Slavenae tribes moved to the west and became the ancestors of the Serbs and Croats, the Antae migrated into the aforementioned regions, where they lived in patriarchal communities and practiced agriculture or pastoralism.12
