		Serbia’s championship of Pan-Slavism in the Balkans engendered bitter rivalry with Bulgaria and Austria-Hungary.
		Serbia’s predominant position in the new kingdom was a major cause for unrest in Croatia and Macedonia in the period between World Wars I and II.
		The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, established in 1992 by Serbia and Montenegro, was thoroughly dominated by Serbia, a situation that led by the end of the decade to a strong movement in Montenegro for increased autonomy or independence.

	Serbia proper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term "Serbia proper" is often used in English to refer to the Central Serbia, the part of Serbia that lies outside the northern and southern autonomous provinces of Vojvodina and Kosovo.
		The term Serbia proper has also been used to differentiate the whole of Serbia (including the autonomous provinces) from the Serbian statelets in Croatia and Bosnia, and to differentiate the rest of Serbia (including Vojvodina) from the autonomous province of Kosovo.
		The region of "Serbia proper" is not an administrative division and is called "Central Serbia" in the country itself (for example by the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia).

		In particular, the power of Serbia - the largest and most populous republic - was diluted by the establishment of autonomous governments in the province of Vojvodina in the north of Serbia and Kosovo in the south.
		In February 1982, a group of priests from Serbia proper petitioned their bishops to ask "why the Serbian Church is silent" and why it did not campaign against "the destruction, arson and sacrilege of the holy shrines of Kosovo." Such concerns did attract interest in Belgrade.
		Serbia's political changes were ratified in a 5 July, 1990 referendum across the entire republic of Serbia, including Kosovo; although most Albanians voted against it, the result was a foregone conclusion given the much greater population of Serbia proper.

	Serbia
		Serbia is bounded by Croatia (northwest), Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro (west), Albania (southwest), Macedonia (south), Bulgaria and Romania (east), and Hungary (north).
		Serbia is mostly mountainous, being ringed by the Dinaric Alps on the west, the Sar Mountains and the North Albanian Alps (Prokletije) on the south, and the Balkan and Carpathian mountains on the east.
		Serbia proper and Vojvodina are the most developed regions of Serbia, whereas Kosovo is one of the poorest regions in Europe.

	MSN Encarta - Serbia
		Serbia is bounded on the north by Hungary; on the east by Romania and Bulgaria; on the south by the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM); on the southwest by Albania; and on the west by Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Croatia.
		Most of Serbia can be divided into three regions: Vojvodina, a large province in the north containing fertile plains drained by the Danube, Sava, Tisza, and Morava rivers; Šumadija, a hilly and heavily populated area in central Serbia; and Kosovo, a mountainous province in the south.
		Serbia’s economy was also damaged because large numbers of draft-age men, intellectuals, and artists fled after the wars began in the early 1990s, and because much of the republic’s economic resources were diverted to the military.

		During the centuries-long Turkish occupation of Serbia, national traditions and the memory of the Dušan's empire were preserved by the Serbian Orthodox Church.
		In May, 1991, Serbia blocked the ascension of Croatian leader Stipe Mesić to the head of the collective presidency, triggering the breakaway of Slovenia and Croatia and the end of the old Yugoslavia.

	About Kosova - (Përreth Kosovës)
		Kosova lies on the south of former Yugoslavia, bordered by Serbia proper to the northeast, Montenegro to the north, Macedonia to the south and Albania to the southwest.
		Since May 1987, the rise in power of Serbia's Communist Party boss, Slobodan Milosevic, was accompanied by a sharp rise in Serbian chauvinism and the continual destruction of Kosova's autonomy.
		Presently, the struggle in Kosova is between the 90 percent Albanian population led by the democratic parties and engaged in peaceful resistance on one side, and the ruling pro-communist Government of Serbia acting as an occupying power with the assistance of the 9 percent Serbian minority, on the other side.

	Talk:Serbia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term "Serbia proper" has been used for many years - well before the Yugoslav wars - and probably came into use to denote the difference between the core of Serbia and the provinces which it acquired in the early 20th century (Kosovo in 1912, Vojvodina in 1918).
		It also sounds as if "Serbia proper" is used (in English) to refer to a geographical region of Serbia that is not an administrative division by itself, much like the terms "Midwest" and "New England" are used in the United States.
		Article 5 of the consitution of Serbia expressly states that "The Republic of Serbia has a coat of arms, a flag, and a national anthem." No motto is mentioned.

		Serbia’s democratic development was also characterised by completely new processes (forcible mass migrations in the first place).
		It is thus certain that the population of Serbia Proper has decreased (by –14,560 according to the old concept and by –140,633 according to the new one) and that of Vojvodina increased (by 84,890 and 61,797 respectively).
		The biggest difference in relation to the municipalities of Serbia Proper is in the net migration rates, which was positive in the majority of municipalities.

	Serbia proper - Definition, explanation
		The term "Serbia proper" is often used in English to refer to the part of Serbia that lies outside the northern and southern autonomous provinces of Kosovo and Vojvodina.
		The term is deprecated by some, apparently on the basis that it implies a distinction between Serbia and its autonomous provinces – a proposition rejected by advocates of Serbian territorial unity.
		The region of "Serbia proper" is not an administrative division and is called "Central Serbia" in the country itself (for example by the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia).

		It is where the Serbian kings were crowned in the Middle Ages and where Serbia lost its independence to the Turks in the famous battle of Kosovo Polje in 1389.
		When Serbs refer to Serbia proper, meaning Serbia minus the provinces of Kosovo and Vojvodina, they point out that the short form of "narrow Serbia" (uza Srbija) spells uzas, which means "horror".
		Since becoming Serbia's party boss in 1986 he has put himself at the head of what the Serbs now like to call their third uprising (the two earlier ones, in 1804 and 1815, brought Serbia its independence from the Turks).

	Serbia Sanctions Case
		These austere economic measures allowed Servo- Montenegran's to more easily adapt to lower living standards, therefore, rendering the harsh living conditions caused by sanctions to be ineffective in causing the Serbs to drop their nationalist pursuits.(4) Moreover, the sanctions failed to effectively collapse the F.R.Y.'s infrastructure.

	The Migration of Serbs and Montenegrins from Kosovo and Metohija (III)
		The Socialist Autonomous Province of Kosovo is situated in the southwest of the Republic of Serbia, covering an area of 10,887 square kilometers (12.5% of the territory of Serbia).
		In 1981, one out of every four inhabitants of Serbia lived in Kosovo, and there were 145.4 inhabitants per square kilometer (169.7 by 1987), making this the most densely populated area in Serbia and Yugoslavia, quite improportionate to its own level of economic and social development.
		This increase is due in part to the steady decline in the number of deaths and in the death rate, and to the very strong increase in the expected average life span (which in 1950-1985 increased from 48.6 to 66.3 years of age for men, and from 45.2 to 70.3 years of age for women).

		The Serbs of Serbia proper fell under the regime of the German puppet ruler, Milan Nedic; significant numbers of them died as Partisans, Cetniks, or victims of German reprisals.
		Thus Serbia's legacy of suffering was to some degree offset by its history of intolerance in the interwar state.
		Each province now occupied a dual constituent status: simultaneously part of Serbia and the federation, they played a republican role in the federal context, where their powers were almost identical to the republics with the exception of the right to secede.

		Authorities from the former Yugoslavia argue that the airstrikes were illegal and not in accordance with international law, while the Western states concerned, said in April that the 78-day NATO air campaign during Slobodan Milosevicâs rule, was justified by what they called Belgrade's ethnic cleansing of Kosovo's majority ethnic Albanian population.
		Serbia and Montenegroâs accusations against the alliance bombings are one of the many obstacles for the country's Euro-Atlantic integration.

		At the end of NATO's war against Serbia in 1999, a three-mile “buffer zone” was established between Kosovo—still nominally a Serbian province—and Serbia proper, which Yugoslav army units were not permitted to patrol.
		The pretext for this, and the war that followed, was provided by the alleged massacre of 45 ethnic Albanian peasants outside the village of Racak on January 15.
		America's previous description of the KLA as a “terrorist organisation” was abandoned in favour of depicting them as “heroic freedom fighters,” which the West was obliged to aid in the struggle against Serbian tyranny.
