	Serbian Greek Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Serbian Greek Empire is a union proposed by a minor number of Orthodox Christian and Nationalist radicals between the nations of Serbia and Montenegro, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, and Greece.
		The Serbian Greek Empire is essentially a subdivision of a greater philosophy known as Neobyzantinism, which itself stems from the collapse of the Byzantine Empire in the mid 15th century.
		With the collapse of this empire, nearly 500 years later, there came a "rebirth" of sorts to the theory of a Nea Byzantia in regions of Greece and southern Europe.

		An empire is a large, multi-ethnic state, whose political structure is held together by coercion.
		Empires have been traditionally ruled by powerful monarchies under the leadership of a hereditary (or in some cases, self-appointed) emperor.
		For example, the former Soviet Union fits many of the criteria of an empire, but nevertheless did not claim to be one, nor was it ruled by a traditional hereditary "emperor" (see Soviet Empire).

	The Code of Serbian Tsar Stephan Dushan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		For the writing of the Code it was necessary to be acquainted with Byzantine law, Serbian written legal sources, Serbian common law, as well as with the circumstances in the country — the Code had to be in accordance with the development of the legal conscience of that time.
		Since Syntagma was directly opposed to the interests of the Serbian Empire, it did not become part of Dushan’s Code in its original form, but as a redaction, known as Shortened Syntagma, together with Justinian’s Code which was a compilation of Byzantine secular laws (Vasilik, Procheiron and Ecloga).
		More recently, in 1975, the Committee for the Sources of Serbian Law, of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Beograd, began the publishing of all transcripts of Dushan’s Code, observing at the same time their chronology and applying modern methods of archeography, that is codicology, textology and filigreeology.

	Military Assistance Agreement Between the United States and Yugoslavia, November 14, 1951
		The Serbian state which has already seen its good start, but must strive to expand and become stronger, has its roots and firm foundation in the Serbian Empire of the 13th and 14th centuries and in the glorious and rich Serbian history.
		These foundations and walls of the Serbian Empire, therefore, must be cleared of all ruins and debris, and brought to light, so that a new edifice may be constructed on this solid and durable historical foundation.
		We are assured that the institution and establishment of such Serbian agency there would be understood by these poples as a political act of inestimable importance on the part of Serbia, so that a closer union of the people of those provinces with Serbia would be an easy matter.

		Many have heard something about the earlier battle of Kosovo in 1389 in which (we are told) the “Serbian nation” was defeated by “the Turks”.
		During the battles of World War I and the Balkan Wars which preceded it, Serb patriots invented new poems styled after the old ones, and I don’t doubt that the same thing is happening even today.
		Although a few stray poems saw print earlier, it was in 1814 that Serbian epic poetry came to the attention of Europe — through the collections researched and published by Vuk Karadžić.
