Serbia

Serbia is a landlocked country that shares borders with Hungary to the north, Romania, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro to the south. It also claims a border with Albania through the disputed region of Kosovo. One of the biggest cities in Southeast Europe is Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. Serbia's population was 7.2 million as of the 2011 census, excluding Kosovo.

The scenery of Serbia continues southward, gradually giving way to mountains rich in canyons, gorges, and caves as well as well-preserved forests after crossing the fertile river valleys and orchard-covered slopes of Umadija in the north. For an active outdoor vacation, from hunting and fishing to extreme sports, Serbia's stunning mountains, national parks, rivers, and lakes are the ideal destination.
