BASIC INFO. GEOGRAPHY GOVERNMENT ... PEOPLE Serbia (Yugoslavia) can be viewed as a collection of disparate ethnic groups who are largely hostile to one another, following a long history of conflict. Though Serbia had been independent at various points in time, the Ottoman conquest in 1389 kept Serbia submissive until 1878, when it reestablished its independence. The Balkans engaged in a series of wars, the last of which led directly to the outbreak of World War I. After the war, Yugoslavia was cobbled together from many small nations and peoples: Serbs, Slovenes, Croats, Bulgarians, Albanians, Macedonians, and more. The uneasy alliance shredded with the coming of the Nazis in World War II as some looked to Germany as liberators and others assumed an anti-German posture. The anti-forces were led by Josip Broz Tito. Though he was victorious, the war had cost millions their lives and left the country in shambles. The federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia endured while Tito lived, thanks to his iron control of the country, and for a short time after. His death in 1980 was not followed by immediate trouble it took the fall of communism in 1989 to destabilize the country. At that point, only Serbia and Montenegro voted for Communist rule, while Croatia, Slovenia, Macedonia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina chose the route to independence. The violent civil war that ensued shocked the world and required the efforts of the United Nations and NATO to bring to a still-uncertain conclusion.

History
Consolidation of a People
Serbs settled in the Balkan Peninsula in the 6th and 7th cent. and accepted Christianity in the 9th cent. Their petty principalities were theoretically under a grand zhupan, who usually recognized Byzantine suzerainty. Civil strife and constant warfare with their Bulgarian, Greek, and Magyar neighbors characterized the early history of the Serbs. Rascia, the first organized Serbian state, was probably founded in the early 9th cent. in the Bosnian mountains; it steadily expanded from the 10th cent. Bulgaria, meanwhile, challenged Byzantium for suzerainty over the Serbs. Stephen Nemanja, whom the Byzantine emperor recognized as grand

History of Institute of Oncology and Radiology of Serbia
The Institute of Oncology and Radiology of Serbia is a national institute, a specialized methodological institution dealing with cancer prevention, health care and treatment of malignant diseases, and a national research center for studies in the field of oncology. It is organized on the principles of UICC applicable to the national institutes. It is equipped with modern high-technology equipment and instruments used in diagnosing, treatment and scientific research work. The Institute is one of the founders and an active member of the European Organization of Cancer Institutes (EOCI) and the European Association for Cancer Research (EACR). The historic development of oncology, as a response to the medical and socio-medical problems related to malignant diseases in Serbia, was in no way delayed in comparison with the rest of the world, but even led the way in some aspects.
In 1913, the world's first Anti-Cancer Association was founded in the United States of America; in 1920, it was founded in France as the first such association in Europe and, the Yugoslav Society for Study and Treatment of Cancer was founded in 1927 as the third such association in the world. In 1923, a special Cancer Ward was opened within the General State Hospital. In 1932, Belgrade got the Institute of Radiology, as was the name of today's Institute of Oncology and Radiology of Serbia at the time.

Courtesy of Porthill Publishers MEDIEVAL LITERATURE BY RADMILA MARINKOVIC Before they accepted Christianity the Serbs had a unified culture with a long tradition whose strength was based on its equality and similarity with the culture of numerous other Slavic tribes. There was one language and one poetic system, through which all needs of tribal life were expressed. During the migrations and settlement in the Balkans, a historical consciousness arose which gave birth to the oral epic, both in prose and in poetry. The encounter with Christian culture introduced a completely different system of poetry, which had developed over hundreds of years on the basis of Hebraism-Hellenism, and which was expressed in a language considered to be holy. A cultural type came into being which had two aspects: the older, traditional and oral, and the tradition of the new Christian civilization which was written. Various forms of contact, mixing and permeation arose between those two aspects, until a new cultural structure came about which rested on both aspects of culture and their productive relationship. They did not come into conflict because each had clearly distinct functions in society. Archbishop Danilo II with the Prophet , a composition of the founder in the church of the Holy Virgin at the Patriarchate of Pec Through this system of literary genres, it was not possible to express individual human feelings or secular themes, so the genres of oral poetry, lyric and epic, along with oral narration, stories and legends all supplemented the system of written genres. Thus, in medieval written literature, love poetry did not emerge, in spite of the relations to western European literature where this genre was highly developed.

The Battle of Kosovo defined the fate of serbia, because after it no force capable of standing up to the Turks existed. by Prince Lazar the strongest regional ruler in serbia at the time - suffered a catastrophic defeat. Another important episode in serbian history took place in 1716-1718, when
http://www.serbia-info.com/enc/history/conquest.html
European powers, and Austria in particular, fought many wars against Turkey, relying on the help of the Serbs that lived under Ottoman rule. During the Austrian-Turkish War (1593-1606) in 1594 the Serbs staged an uprising in Banat - the Pannonian part of Turkey, and the sultan retaliated by burning the remains of St. Sava - the most sacred thing for all Serbs honored even by Moslems of Serbian origin. Serbs created another center of resistance in Herzegovina but when peace was signed by Turkey and Austria they abandoned to Turkish vengeance. This sequence of events became usual in the centuries that followed.
During the Great War (1683-1690) between Turkey and the Holy Alliance - created with the sponsorship of the Pope and including Austria, Poland and Venice - these three powers incited the Serbs to rebel against the Turkish authorities, and soon uprisings and guerrilla spread throughout the western Balkans: from Montenegro and the Dalmatian coast to the Danube basin and Ancient Serbia (Macedonia, Raska, Kosovo and Metohija). However, when the Austrians started to pull out of Serbia, they invited the Serbian people to come north with them to the Austrian territories. Having to choose between Turkish vengeance and living in a Christian state, Serbs massively abandoned their homesteads and headed north lead by their patriarch Arsenije Carnojevic. Many areas in southern Balkans were de-populated in the process, and the Turks used the opportunity to Islamize Raska, Kosovo and Metohija and to a certain extent Macedonia. A process whose effects are still visible today started.

    Serbia
    Serbia (Serbo-Croatian - SRBIJA), constituent republic of Yugoslavia , consisting of that nation's entire territory except for the republic of Montenegro in the southwest. Serbia is bounded by Croatia (northwest), Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro (west), Albania (southwest), Macedonia (south), Bulgaria and Romania (east), and Hungary (north). The autonomous province of Vojvodina in the north and that of Kosovo in the south are within the republic of Serbia. Belgrade, the capital of the republic, is also the capital of Yugoslavia
    Physical and human geography.
    Serbia is mostly mountainous, being ringed by the Dinaric Alps on the west, the Sar Mountains and the North Albanian Alps (Prokletije) on the south, and the Balkan and Carpathian mountains on the east. Many peaks in these ranges surpass 6,000 feet (1,800 m) in elevation. The highest relief in Serbia is in the south, where the intermontane Kosovo and Metohija basins contain the province of Kosovo. In central Serbia are the hills of the Sumadija ("forested area"), and in the north are the low-lying plains of Vojvodina, where the Danube River is joined by two of its major tributaries, the Sava and Tisa rivers. The Danube enters Vojvodina from Hungary and flows southeastward to form eventually the border between Yugoslavia and Romania. Mountainous central and southern Serbia are drained by the Morava River and its tributaries; the Morava flows northward to join the Danube east of Belgrade.

These peoples were divided into tribal groups, one of which, the Illyrians, became firmly established throughout the western part of the peninsula.
