Serbia, one of the republics of the former Yugoslavia, has a long and proud history. Ruled by the Turks for over 500 years, the Serbs are a unique blend of East and West. This has been, at times, both a blessing and a curse, making it difficult for Serbia to find a place in the current world’s political scene.
Serbia is located along the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea in the central part of the Balkan Peninsula. This places the country along the most important routes linking Europe and Asia, making it a cross-roads for trade and shipping.
The missionary teams will be working in the city of Zajecar, located along the easter border with Bulgaria. The climate is considered moderate continental, with the average temperature being around 53°F.
