Vlach was and still is a name for indigenous balkan people. Even today there are pockets of Vlachs in Macedonia, Greece, Albania and also in Croatia(in Istria). Once they spread over whole region and were based especially in today Southern Serbia and Macedonia.
Most Serbs in Croatia and Bosnia today are actually Vlachs, coverts to Serbian Orthodox Church and thus converts to "serbdom". These Vlachs were in service to Ottoman Empire as border jumpers and scout...but soon, since they basically worked for anyone that would pay them, Habsburg's used them and allowed them settlement in Croatia - 'Statuta Valachorum'(Vlach Statue) ->

Tesla is undoubtably of Vlach origin.

Do you really think that posting serbian chauvinist-revisonist propaganda will do you any good and advance you in this "debate"? Funny....
