Dračevica was a župa in medieval Serbia, and later on in medieval Bosnia when the medieval Bosnian state conquered the area in 1377 from Đurađ I Balšić, who previously took it from Nikola Altomanović in 1373.[1][2] Its later center was in Novi, a town built by Tvrtko I of Bosnia.[3] Its location is in the mountainous areas to the northwest of Boka Kotorska and the town of Herceg Novi, in modern day Montenegro.[4] It corresponds to the Sutorina region.
