The Republic of Serbia is one of the fragments of Yugoslavia, which once existed on the political map of Europe. After the division of the SFRY into separate states in the 90s of the last century, each of the newly baked independent republics received their new borders, within which natural resources, historical sights, seas and mountains, lakes and rivers were concentrated. Unlike its neighbors, Serbia did not get the sea. Curious tourists planning a trip to the Balkans often ask representatives of travel agencies which sea is washing Serbia, and, having received a negative answer, are disappointed. In fact, the sea here more than replaces the Danube - a river about which songs and legends are composed in many countries of the Old World.

The Danube flows through several European countries, and the first written records of the great river date back to the 5th century BC. Its source is located in Germany. It is formed by the confluence of two small streams that run off the Alps. A characteristic feature of the course of the European river is the change in the direction of its channel along the entire route.

Belgrade has no equal in taste and color
When the guests ask what seas are in Serbia, its capital can answer in a very unusual way.
