The southern Slavs had in 1219 acknowledged the Empire of Nicaea as the heir to the Roman Empire and the center of Eastern Orthodoxy.

Rastko organizes the Serbian church, with its seat at Zica, near modern Kraljevo, into bishoprics headed by his former monastic colleagues and students.

He now embarks on a cultural and ecclesiastical renaissance that includes the establishment of schools and the beginnings of a medieval Serbian literature; he personally contributes a chronicle of his father's reign.

The writings of Stefan II and his brother are considered as the first works of Serbian literature.
