"Ethnic Serbian community in Bela (White) Krajina region in Slovenia was established in XVI century, with first documented Uskoci settlers arriving in 1546. Their settling in this area was the first wave and part of the organized and sponsored Uskoci soldier migrations to Military Frontier province after the priviledges charter was issued in 1538. by the Austrian emperor Ferdinand I. This, and many subsequent charters, gave to the Carniola Serbs the rights of the religious freedom and ownership of the land on which they were invited to settle by their military commanders and general Ivan LENKOVIĆ. Uskoks came in several waves and from various places of origin, seeking refuge and protection after the fall into the Ottoman hands of the fortressess located inland where they served as bordermen defenders."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%BDumberak#Uskoksto read here some about Gottschee and Uskoks:
"This region had suffered even more damage at the hands of the Turks than the rest of Gottschee. The decimated population was finally no longer able to fill its living space with its own people. No one from the main settlement region, however, dared to settle there. The Carniolian provincial administration attempted to settle Uskoken in the region which was almost totally uninhabited in the first third of the sixteenth century. The Uskoken were a Croatian-speaking Slavic tribe in Bosnia which also had to endure much under the rule of the Turks. According to Simonic (pages 18-19), they began to establish themselves hesitatingly in the regions of Pölland and Kostel. However, since the authorities and the Carniolian provincial diet in Laibach could not agree upon their taxation, the necessary distribution of the land did not take place and their intention to settle remained provisional. After waiting patiently for some time, the Uskoken followed the example of the Turks and also undertook raids into, among other areas, the rest of Gottschee. They were particularly keen on cattle and horses. As late as 1613 and 1615, the peasants complained to the authorities about the violent, outrageous neighbors in the south. Many Uskoken families moved on and were absorbed somewhere in Croatia. It took quite some time for the natural population density to be reached after the attacks by the Turks ceased. But the Gottscheers only participated in a very limited way in the resettling of the manor of Pölland. In a later district reform, the townships of Unterlag and Saderz, which were inhabited by Gottscheers, were reassigned to the linguistic island."
