Where East Meets West
For centuries, Serbia has been crossroads where various civilizations met. Long time ago, it was the meeting point of the Byzantine and Roman empires. Modern Serbia has developed under the influences of the Ottoman Empire, but also under the Austrian heritage, since its northern parts used to belong to the Habsburg monarchy. As a result of so many influences throughout its rich history, Serbian culture is an amazing fusion of customs, flavours and multiculturalism in architecture, gastronomy, music, and the language itself.
