Excerpt: Serbian Serbs (Serbian Cyrillic: , Serbian Latin: Srbi) are a South Slavic ethnic group mostly living in the Central Europe and the Balkans (Southeastern Europe), between the Balkan and Carpathian mountains in the east and the Adriatic sea in the west. They are located mainly in Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and, to a lesser extent, Croatia. Serbs are also a significant minority in two other republics of the Former Yugoslavia, the Republic of Macedonia and Slovenia. Serbs are an officially recognized minority in both Romania and Hungary, as well as Slovakia. There is a large Serbian diaspora in Western Europe especially concentrated in Germany, France, Switzerland, and Austria. In North America, the United States and Canada have the largest Serbian population. In the German-speaking countries alone live more than a million people of Serbian origin: Luxembourg (1%), Austria (1,8%), Switzerland (1%), and Germany (~1%). The Serbian revolution (18041815) marked the rebirth of modern Serbia and its establishment as a principality which fought the Ottomans, Bulgarians and Austrians for the supremacy over the Balkans. In 1918 Serbia lost its independence to the Yugoslav Kingdom and regained its sovereignty in 2006, after Montenegro left the Serbia and Montenegro union which had been one of the fragment of the former Yugoslavia in the 21st Century following the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s. Republic of Serbia is a state of Serbian people and all citizens who... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=59512 ... Read more
