i don`t need to underline here that Serbians were considered to be military elite of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Serbs were absolutely loyal to the Polish Kings. Only historical Russian-Serbian conflict happened in moment when Russians endangered ancient Samaritan interests on the Baltic-Balkan line. Situation culminated in decisive Orsha battle where Serbians were first cavalry line of the Polish-Lithuanian forces. Polish-Serbian gusari (hussars) can be seen in action circa AD 1514 in this very large 1530s painting from the Polish National Museum in Warsaw > http://dariocaballeros.blogspot.com/2009/04/serbian-hussars.html
 Orsha Battle, 1514
Serbian-Polish mutual loyalty originates from our Sarmatian connections in deep Proto-Slavic past (note: Sarmatian name was previous/original and universal name for all the Slavs), from time when our elites and people prospered due to control of amber trade routes from Baltic to the Balkan/Mediterranean. That ancient wealth flow was cut and destroyed by the Romans and their border from the Baltic to the Balkan. On the east, from the North to the South (on that Balkan-Baltic line) Romans bordered solely with the Sarmatians. Actually, some Sarmatians lived as subjects to the Rome within Roman borders and those who stayed outside of the Roman Empire were called barbarians. Later, destine of those Sarmatians who lived in the northern Roman province of Germania was to become Germanics and after their full germanization- Germans (note: name of Germania province wasn't ethnic name but the quite opposite- name of the province gave the name to the new ethos- Germanics, in the ancient Slavic (read Sarmatian) realm.
