La República de Serbia, escuchar, es un país soberano, constituido en Estado social y democrático de Derecho y cuya forma de gobierno es la República parlamentaria. Situado en la Península balcánica, en el sureste de Europa, según su constitución limita con Hungría al norte; con Rumania y Bulgaria al este; con Macedonia y Albania al sur; y con Bosnia y Herzegovina, Croacia y Montenegro al oeste. Su capital y ciudad más poblada es Belgrado.
Serbia formó un reino medieval que evolucionó hasta convertirse en un imperio que alcanzó su máxima extensión en el siglo XIV. En el siglo XVI el territorio serbio fue conquistado por el Imperio otomano, al que perteneció hasta el siglo XIX, cuando Serbia recuperó su independencia y expandió su territorio. Tras el fin de la Primera Guerra Mundial Serbia formó junto con otros territorios balcánicos el Reino de Yugoslavia. Después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial pasó a ser parte de la República Federal Socialista de Yugoslavia, que terminó desintegrándose tras una serie de guerras en la década de 1990. Finalmente, Serbia se convirtió de nuevo en un Estado independiente en 2006, tras la disolución de la unión de Serbia con Montenegro.
