Serbi

Serbi is not a standard English country name. It may refer to Serbia, a country in Southeast Europe, or to Serbs, the ethnic group native to the Balkans; in several Slavic languages, the term for Serbs is similar to "Srbi." The article below primarily covers the country and the people associated with the term.

Serbia is located in the central Balkans, bordered by Hungary to the north, Romania and Bulgaria to the east, North Macedonia to the south, and Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro to the west. Its capital and largest city is Belgrade. The country covers a mix of low plains in Vojvodina and mountainous areas in the central and southern regions, with major rivers including the Danube and Sava. Serbia has a temperate climate with diverse terrain. Officially a parliamentary republic, it operates within a constitutional framework, with a President as head of state and a Prime Minister as head of government. Serbia is a member of the United Nations, Council of Europe, and OECD Development Centre, and attends EU accession talks, though it has not yet joined the European Union. The dinar (RSD) is the currency. The economy is diversified, with services, manufacturing, and agriculture playing substantial roles.

Serbs, or Srbi, are the predominant ethnic group in Serbia and a significant population in neighboring states. The Serbian language, spoken in both Latin and Cyrillic scripts, uses the Bosnian-Croatian-Montenegrin-Serbian standard. The Serbian Orthodox Church is a historic religious influence. Serbian history includes medieval statehood under the Nemanjić dynasty, incorporation into the Ottoman and Austro-Habsburg realms, and later inclusion in Yugoslavia. Cultural traditions, music, literature, and folklore remain important, with a notable diaspora across Europe and North America. The status of Kosovo, declared independent in 2008, remains disputed by Serbia and several international actors.
