Summary/Abstract: The past opinion of Šefik Bešlagić and Milovan Gavazzi that the graves marked by circle of stones at the necropolis of stećak (monumental medieval tombstone) belong to the poorest members of the Bosnian Church, those who have not been able to make stećak, based on the position of the necropolis and having examined the terrain, the author indicates that these are the remains of the oldest Muslim graves i.e. the graves of the first converts to Islam.
