Serbs

Serbs (Serbian Cyrillic: Срби Serbian Latin: Srbi) are a South Slavic ethnic group mostly living in the Central Europe and the Balkans (Southeastern Europe), between the Balkan and Carpathian mountains in the east and the Adriatic sea in the west. They are located mainly in Serbia (also in Kosovo), Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and, to a lesser extent, in Croatia. Serbs are also a significant minority in two other republics of the Former Yugoslavia, the Republic of Macedonia and Slovenia. Serbs are an officially recognized minority in both Romania and Hungary, as well as Slovakia. There is a large Serbian diaspora in Western Europe especially concentrated in Germany, France, Switzerland, and Austria. In North America, the United States and Canada have the largest Serbian population. In the German-speaking countries alone live more than a million people of Serbian origin: Luxembourg (1% share in the overall population), Austria (1,8%), Switzerland (1%), and Germany (almost 1%).
