位於巴爾幹半島中部，原本和蒙特內哥羅共同屬於南斯拉夫聯盟共和國，直到2006年才獨立成兩個國家。2008年，南邊的科索沃自治區宣布獨立，但塞爾維亞始終不放棄科索沃主權，並對科索沃採取多項制裁，此舉反而成為塞爾維亞加入歐盟的阻礙（因歐盟支持科索沃）。
2020年塞爾維亞總統武契奇態度軟化，在美國斡旋下和科索沃總理簽訂經濟協議，但政治方面仍無解。網球運動員表現突出，球王喬克維奇就是塞爾維亞人。

Year Founded: 2006

Located in the central Balkan Peninsula, Serbia and Montenegro were once part of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and the two didn’t become separate independent states until 2006. In 2008, the autonomous region of Kosovo in the south declared independence, but Serbia steadfastly held onto its claim of sovereignty over Kosovo. The multiple sanctions imposed by Serbia on Kosovo impeded its own inclusion in the European Union as the EU supported Kosovo. 

The president of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, took a softened stance in 2020. Through mediation by the US, Serbia signed an economic agreement with the then prime minister of Kosovo, but the political conflicts of the two remain unresolved. The state boasts of excellent tennis players. Novak Djokovic, the male champion tennis player, comes from Serbia.
