The Đurašević family was a branch of the Kalođurđević family. Its members held the most distinct positions in the court of Balša III. Đurađ was the head of the family. Đurađ was one of the witnesses listed in the charter issued by Balša III when he founded a church of the Praskvica Monastery in 1413.
Đurađ"s son and Aleksa Paštrović, an envoy of Sandalj Hranić, were also present.
Đurašević was elected as a witness and maybe the executor of the charter of Balša III because at that time he ruled over Paštrovići, Luštica and the hills above Kotor and Budva. After the death of Balša III they refused Venetian invitations to switch sides and to accept Venetian suzerainty remaining loyal to new lord of Zeta, Serbian Despot Stefan Lazarević.
They controlled 10 salt ponds in Grbalj valley near Kotor.
