During Uros's war with Dubrovnik in 1254, Radoslav presented himself in Hum as "sworn liege of the Hungarian king", Béla IV of Hungary, and promised to fight Dubrovnik as long as Dubrovnik was in conflict with Serbia. He made peace with Ragusa, seen in a charter dated to May 22nd, 1254. He maintained good relations with Dubrovnik and Hungary.

Following an earthquake in the Hum capital of Ston, the Orthodox bishop of Hum relocated to the church of St Peter and St Paul built on the Lim River near the Serbian border in the 1250s.
