New Years Eve in Serbia
Belgrade - Serbian partygoers and caterers happily exploit an atavistic calendar to celebrate New Year's parties on December 31 and January 13, with an Orthodox Christmas in between.
Population and language of Serbia
The ethnic population of the Republic of Serbia is heterogeneous, which resulted from the country's turbulent past. The majority of the population of Serbia are Serbs, but another 37 nationalities also live on its territory. All citizens have equal rights and responsibilities and enjoy full ethnic equality.
Christmas in Serbia
The main Church of Serbia and Montenegro is the Orthodox Church. Like Russia, the tradition is to use the Julian calendar as opposed to the modern Gregorian calendar - at least when it comes to holidays and traditions. Day to day life is ruled by the Gregorian calendar.
