The factual accuracy of this map or the file name is disputed.
Reason: The Italian states seem to be drastically distorted, with everything squashed towards the south of the peninsula. Rome for example should be roughly 30px west and 30px north of its current position, which at this scale is a difference of roughly 100km. The eastern end of Sicily also seems to have been cut off. I cannot comment on the rest of the map (it seems roughly right but I'm in no position to judge).
The factual accuracy of this map or the file name is disputed.
Reason: Distortion of much of Western Balkans, with eastern Bosnia squashing western Bosnian border at river Vrbas which river flow is not so much westward into the Croatian lands. Most importantly, it shows exaggerated size of the Principality of Serbia within stated borders and it's inclusion of nearby polities. No primary source gives any information about expansion during Časlav or Serbia including other polities. Cited secondary sources say the borders were "uncertain" and assume different expansions, hence map being a distortion of attributed sources, OR and SYNTH. Instead of it should be used File:Map of the Balkans in the 900s.png.

NB: borders cannot be known with certainty given lack of clear sources, and in any case they changed constantly.
However, we do know that Serbia was at a relative zenith after the death of Symeon of Bulgaria (c.927) and Tomislav of Croatia. Caslav of Serbia extended his borders "well into Bosnia". J V A Fine. The Early Medieval Balkans. Pg 159-60.
"Caslav was able to restore his country, expanding into Pagania and establishing control over the Terbounites and Kanalites". Southeastern Europe in the Early Middle Ages. Florin Curta. Pg 213
The situation in Slavonia is very difficult to discern; and scholars cannot be certain whether it was controlled by Croats or Magyars. Either way, it was a well populated and productive region.[1] pg 193
