Pilot (župa)

Pilot (Albanian: Pulati/Pulti, Greek: Πολάθων, Church Slavonic: Пилоть, Latin: Polatum) was a province in medieval Albania (Albanian: Arbëria/Arbënia, Greek Arbanon, Old Serbian Rabьn), approximately between the cities Shkodra in the west and Prizren in the east, and between the rivers Valbona in the north and the northern arm of the Drin in the south. Later conquests by King Milutin and Emperor Stefan Dušan pushed the border further east and south, and Pilot remained within the Serbian empire until its fall in 1355. When the Serbian Orthodox Church became autocephalous in 1219, Pilot was divided into the Serbian dioceses Budimlje, Zeta, Hvosno and Prizren.
