 | | The Republic of Serbia (in Serbian Србија or Srbija) is a republic in south-eastern Europe, which is united with Montenegro in a loose commonwealth known as the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro. |
 | | The Serbian Army bravely defended its country and won several major victories, but it was finally overpowered by the joint forces of Germany, Austria-Hungary and Bulgaria, and had to withdraw from the national territory marching across the Albanian mountain ranges to the Adriatic Sea. |
 | | At the same time as the Serbian population declined, the Albanian population grew exponentially, from about 300,000– 400,000 in the 1930s, to an estimated 1.8–2 million in 2000, due to a combination of factors, mainly massive illegal immigration from Albania and a high birth rate when compared to the Serbian population. |
