	Serbs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Slavs (including Serbs) came to the Balkans from a broad region in central and eastern Europe, which extended from the rivers Elbe in the west to the Dnieper in the east and from a point which touched the Carpathian mountains in the south and the river Niemen in the north.
		Serbs in Croatia formed their state of Republika Srpska Krajina, but after they were military defeated, most of them fled from this region.
		Serbs in Bosnia and Herzegovina formed their state of Republika Srpska, which is currently one of the two political entities that form the country of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

		Serbs (in the Serbian language Срби, Srbi) are a south Slavic people living chiefly in Serbia and Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
		Large Serb populations also live in Croatia (largely in the entity that during the 1990s constituted the internationally unrecognized Republic of Serbian Krajina) and Bosnia and Herzegovina (where they are a constituent nation), principally in the Republika Srpska, one of the country's two entities.
		At the beginning of the 20th century, many Serbs were still under foreign rule – that of the Ottomans in the south and of the Austrians in the north and west.

	Origin of Serbs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sarmatian Serbs, it is argued, intermarried with the indigenous Slavs of the region, adopted their language, and transferred their name to the Slavs.
		The Serbs were mentioned as Serboi by Pliny the Younger in his Geographica in the first century AD (69-75) as living on the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.
		There are also many toponyms related to the Serb name found in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Germany, which can maybe show possible ways of the migration of Serbs from the Caucasus to Central Europe and to their present location in the Balkans.

	Serbia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The two provinces are ethnically diverse, which originates in the fact, that the country has been organised from parts ruled by the former Muslim Ottoman Empire in the south and parts ruled by the former Catholic Habsburg Empire in the north.
		The slight increase in the Serb population is attributable to the huge influxes of Serb refugees from Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia in the 1990s due to the Yugoslav Wars rather than to natural growth of the population.
		Serbs are Orthodox Christians, not Roman Catholics, with their own national church - the Serb Orthodox Church.

		Bulgaria failed in her subsequent attempt (July 1913) to take from her allies territory which she had originally been promised (see Balkan Wars), but to Habsburg alarm at another near-doubling of Serbia's territory was added Bulgarian resentment at having been denied what she saw as her just share of the territorial gains.

		The Serb army has been considerably weakened by the economic sanctions and by the arms embargo of recent years imposed at the instance of the NATO powers and does not have the access to the latest weapons and technologies as the US and other Western powers have.

		(45) The Serbs of Thessaly were so few in number that they did not even have their own bishopric before 869, (46) and it is wholly probable that in 688 they were transferred in such numbers to Asia Minor that a VII century bishopric in Bithynia would have taken its name from them.
		Meanwhile the name "Serb" is a specific national name and wherever Serbs are mentioned they must be of the same national origin as the Serbs in the Caucasus or in Asia Minor.
