Summary/Abstract: This Serbian comparative ethnographic study of the two different ethnic groups, the Sarakatsani and Vlachs shows the author sympathy for Balkan shepherd. The aim of this study is to fill in the gap, about the rituals and customs of two ethnic nomadic groups, of Sarakatsani and Vlachs, who differ in their origin and cultural characteristics, but they have been for the first time treated side by side by a Serbian scholar. Dragoslav Antonijevič had combined some ethnologic information harvested during the three field researching expeditions with the data from scientific literature published in various books and papers. Although this study has no given the answer to many problems that is has treated of, in fact the study has opened the door for further studies and researches.
