Parentage

The parentage is unknown. It is possible that the Greek variety Karnachalades is identical. This very old variety was very important in Serbia from the Middle Ages onwards, and there are numerous varieties with many names. Prokupac was a crossing partner of the new varieties Evita, Jagodinka and Župljanka as well as a parent of the varieties Beala Debela (Bulgaria) and Papazkarasi (Turkey), which presumably arose through natural crossing.
