Summary/Abstract: There are known only four documents from the State Archive of Dubrovnik that mention the church Grlica in Polimlje. Although the exact place of the church was unknown until recently, some valuable information indicate that it was in the village Rodijelja, on the mouth of the stream Grlica (Grlički potok) to the river Bistrica, the right confluent of the river Lim, near Bijelo Polje. Ragusan documents show that the church Grlica was frequented by ragusan caravans with various goods, cloth, tin and wine. Their owners were well-known ragusan merchants of the XV century, some living for a long period in Pristina (Nikola Glavić, Nikola Živolinović) and the traffic and transport organized well known Vlachs Herak Milošević, brothers Stanoje and Klapac Stanković. The original texts of the ragusan documents from the years of 1423 -1430, with translation, are given in the annex.
