The Byzantine Emperor Constantine VII (r. 913–959) in De Administrando Imperio of the mid-10th century recounts in Chapter 31: "These same Croats arrived as refugees to the emperor of the Romaioi [Emperor Heraclius, r. 610–641] before the Serbs came as refugees to the same Emperor Heraclius"; and mainly in Chapter 32:

"It should be known that the Serbs are descended from the unbaptized Serbs, also called ‘white’, who live beyond Hungary, in a region called by them Boïki, where their neighbor is Francia, as is also Megali Croatia, the unbaptized, also called ‘white’. In this place, then, these Serbs also dwelt from the beginning... Now, after the two brothers succeeded their father in the rule of Serbia, one of them, taking one half of the folk, came as the refugee to Heraclius, the emperor of the Romaioi gave them a region in the Thessalonica to settle in, namely Serblia, which from that time has acquired this denomination... Then, after some time these same Serbs decided to depart to their own homes, and the emperor sent them off. And so, when they had crossed the Danube River, they changed their minds and sent a request to the Emperor Heraclius... the emperor settled these same Serbs in these countries"
