The Serbs: Origins, Influences, and Cultural Heritage

The Serbs, primarily from Serbia, also inhabit Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kosovo. Their history is marked by the Serbian Empire (630-1459) followed by Ottoman and Austrian rule (1459-1791), which shaped their architecture, music, and cuisine. Conflicts arose with the Ottoman Empire and during the civil war in Kosovo before the breakup of Yugoslavia. Orthodox Christianity is their predominant religion, and the economy is supported largely by services (65%). Serbia’s geography features fertile plains, the Danube River, and the Carpathian Mountains, contributing to its moderate continental climate.
