Excerpt: Serbs (Serbian: , pronounced ) are a South Slavic ethnic group of the Balkans and southern Central Europe. Serbs are located mainly in Serbia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina, and are also a significant minority in other republics of the former Yugoslavia- primarily Croatia, the Republic of Macedonia and Slovenia. Likewise, Serbs are an officially recognized minority in both Romania and Hungary, as well as Albania, Czech republic and Slovakia.
