  Serbia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Serbia is located in the Balkans (a historically and geographically distinct region of southeastern Europe) and in the Pannonian Plain (an region of central Europe).
Serbia's terrain ranges from the rich, fertile plains of the northern Vojvodina region, limestone ranges and basins in the east, and, in the southeast, ancient mountains and hills.
Serbia, and in particular the valley of the Morava, is often described as "the crossroads between East and West", which is one of the primary reasons for its turbulent history.

 Serbia
The Kingdom of Serbia was established in the 11th century, and in the 13th century it eventually became the Serbian Empire.
Serbia was a principality between 1817 and 1882, and a kingdom between 1882 and 1918, during which time the internal politics revolved largely around the dynastic rivalry between the Obrenović and Karađorđević families.
In English this region is often called "Serbia proper" to denote "the part of the Republic of Serbia not including the provinces of Vojvodina and Kosovo; the ethnic and political core of the Serbian state," as the Library of Congress puts it.

Serbia was thus forced to balance between the triangle of interests (Ottoman, Habsburg and Russian Empire), which were all, at various times, opposed to Serbia's primary goal: the unification of the Serbs, dispersed as they were in various provinces within the Ottoman and Habsburg Empires.
Serbia was freed from its de facto Austria-Hungarian protectorate by a coup d'état on June 11, 1903.

 Serbia Info News / More and more "friendly incidents" of NATO in Croatia
Zagreb, May 25 (Tanjug - abridged) - Croatia is facing with more and more serious consequences of the NATO aggression on Yugoslavia which it supports by all means as well as with the increasing number of the "friendly incidents" of the Alliance on its territory.
At the end of April, the second missile of the Alliance fell on the territory of Croatia near Korodja.
Indeed, the Croatian government demanded an explanation by NATO because of the dropping of bombs in the Adriatic sea, but, evidently, it was satisfied with the explanation that such cases occur rarely and that the bombs are dropped in the international waters.

Even worse, when war broke out between Yugoslavia (Serbia) and Croatia in the summer of 1991, Rusyns from Serbia were mobilized and sent to fight their brethren in Croatia.
At the height of the conflict, however, Croatia's Rusyn minority was caught between the proverbial hammer and anvil, often assumed by one side to be cooperating with the other.
In former Yugoslavia, Rusyns held positions in all levels of government: the provincial (Vojvodina): the republican (Serbia and Croatia); and the federal (Yugoslavia).

The relief of Vojvodina is primarily flat except for Srem which is dominated by the Fruska Gora mountain and the South-east of Banat with its Vrsacki breg.
There is also the third highway in Srem which takes the direction to the West towards the Republic of Croatia and further on towards Western Europe.
Part of the income of the economy comes from tourism which is particularly developed on rivers and lakes, thermal springs and on Fruska Gora mountain which abounds with numerous orthodox monasteries of the Serbian-Byzantine style, built between the 15th and 17th century.

 B&H / C18 - Serbia during WW2
Harald Turner (the chief of the German civil administration in Serbia) announced that Serbia was the only country in which the "Jewish question" was solved and that Belgrade was the "first city of a New Europe to be Judenfrei." Turner himself attributed this success to Serbian help.
In Serbia, before the assasination of King Aleksandar in Marseilles, a convention of all Nationalist groups was held in Belgrade.
He based an all-Chetnic command in Serbia from where he directed his forces to avoid large-scale fighting with the Germans and Italians and wait for an Allied invasion that would "liberate Yugoslavia and restore the monarchy." By 1944 the Allies withdrew their support.

 The Kosovo Chronicles, by Dusan Batakovic (Part 2a)
The army at the southwest of Serbia was forced to retreat north; the endeavor to expand the uprising to Montenegro and the northern regions of Kosovo came to an end.
In negotiations with Greece, in 1860, Serbia agreed, in principle, to divide Albania, whereby the northern territories, Durazzo and Elbasan, would be annexed to Serbia, and Berat and Korea, to the Greek state.
Beside the tradition of the once glorious Serbia under the Nemanjices, the minds of the people were kept alive with the memories of uprisings and migrations of centuries past.

The prisoners' files were destroyed twice (at the beginning of 1943 and in April, 1945) and even if they had been preserved, they would have been of little help discerning the truth, because the Ustasha often killed the newly arrived prisoners immediately, without, putting their names into the files.
The National Committee of Croatia for the investigation of the crimes of the occupation forces and their collaborators stated in its report of November 15, 1945 that 500,000-600,000 people were killed at Jasenovac.

Serbia received the western part (which is now part of Vojvodina), and Romania received the eastern part (which is now part of Transylvania).
In 1991, there were 22,000 Hungarians in Croatia, most in eastern Slavonia, precisely in areas where war with Serbs erupted, so this community suffered greatly with the conflict.
In present day Croatia, Hungarians are one of the recognised minorities with a seat reserved in Parliament.

In 1948, 14.47 percent of Croatia's population was Serbian (543,795 total Serbs); by 1981, that percentage had fallen to 11.55 percent, for a total of 531,502.
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.
The attack of Belgrade's intellectuals on Croatia was unprovoked and unfair, and led to an escalating series of polemics with Croats that eventually proved the Serbian prophecy correct: Croats did come to fear and despise the Serbia of the late 1980s.

Moreover, the very freedom on which the Grenzers prided themselves meant that, unlike in the villages of "civil" Croatia, there were no market-oriented landlords to force serfs to adopt new methods and adapt to the market.
In the isolated conditions of the Border, isolated by geography and deliberately isolated from "civil" Croatia by the military administration, national consciousness developed from a confessional base, with economic interest groups or social classes trailing far behind in importance.
While one cannot expect an economic history to recount the tale of Jellacic, Kossuth, and the Serb revolts as Rothenberg and Istvan Deak[3] have done, the issue of Croatia after serfdom and the effect of the revolutions on the Border is largely ignored.
