Serbia religions include the Serbian Orthodox Church, the Muslim Community of Serbia that is mostly Sunni, the Jews, the Native minority following regional faith, and the Eastern Orthodox church.
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.
On 17 February 2008 the Government of Kosovo declared independence from Serbia. The overall security situation in Serbia remains calm, though there is an increased risk of sporadic incidents and a high likelihood of political protests.
