On this page about House of Karađorđević:
Unlike other Balkan states such as Greece, Bulgaria or Romania, Serbia did not import a member of an existing European royal family to take its throne; the Karađorđević Dynasty, like its Obrenović rival, was a "home-grown" Serbian family, descending from the Vasojević clan of Monenegro that itself - according to Vasojević oral history - descends from "Vaso, son of Herzegovinian king (presumably Stefan Vukčić Kosača, medieval Duke of Hum, Zahumlje and the Littoral)." Kosačas themselves are considered by Siebmacher to be a branch of Comneno. Similarly, the Obrenovićs are considered to be a branch of medieval Brankovićs.
