Poem was analyzed through international motive "husband at his wife’s wedding " and in that way was brought in correlation with epic poem of uskoks cycle "Janković Stojan Slavery". Due to detection of high number of similarity beetwen this two poems, it will be about autochtony poems recorded in Kosovo and Metohija. Thanks to Dena Debeljković, recorder of folk epic poems in Kosovo and Metohija, Kraljević Marko is not described as heroy in battle, but as man who cares about the family safety, where, beneath all, is possibly hidden mentality of people from Kosovo and Metohija.
