The Slavs moved into the Balkans well after Christianity was established there. It was the local Illyrian/Dalmatian religion mixed with Roman cultism before then.
Illyria paganism with Greco-Roman/Slavic/Pannonian influence

True but the question of the thread was what was around before Christianity, which was established there several centuries before the Slavs started migrating into the area. Although the Slavs were pagan while they were settling, they didn't entirely supplant the existing population, large pockets of Christianity existed up until the Slavs were officially converted.

I think that's it
Slavic pagan mostly, christian in roman, latin cities on the coastline. The christianisation started as soon they settled in the 7th century from both orthodox and catholic side. But christianization wasnt really successful until the 9th century

1054. Is the year when the churches separated completely. There were ritual and some dogmatic differences. Although it was mostly about the political influence and who will side with which religous and political centre. They sent out different missionaries. The frankish empire had theirs which worked with rome, rome had theirs and constantinople had theirs..cyril and metod for example. There was the use of latin or native language in mass. The east usually helped the peoples develop their own scriptures

slavic/paleo-balkan paganism

bumpu for interest
Illyrians paganism, though Illyrians themselves likely supplanted earlier populace at the end of 2nd millenium BC
Are you people retards? The Slavs didn't move into the area until the 6th century AD, centuries after Christianity had supplanted the regional traditional religions like the worship of Zalmoxis in Dacia.
