Serbia is a republic of south-eastern Europe, which is united with Montenegro in a loose commonwealth entitled Serbia and Montenegro.

Kingdom of Serbia is established 11th century, and in 13th century it eventualy became Serbian Empire. Since 1918 Serbia was a part of Yugoslavia. From 1992, following the independence of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and the Republic of Macedonia, to 2003 Serbia and Montenegro formed the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.

Serbia is populated mostly by Serbs. Significant minorities in Serbia include Albanians, Hungarians and Roma.

Zoran Djindjic, then current Prime Minister, was assassinated on March 12, 2003. The new Prime Minister is Zoran Živković.

Serbia still does not have an anthem. The unofficial anthem of Serbia is Bože Pravde (God the Righteous).

Serbia has 2 autonomous provinces: Kosovo and Metohia and Vojvodina. Part of Serbia that is neither in Kosovo and Metohia nor in Vojvodina (oftenly called "Serbia proper") is not an administrative division.
