The regional geology of Serbia describes the geologic structure and history inside the borders of Serbia. Serbia is in recent geologic time a part of the Eurasian Plate, but the bedrock lithologies are witness to a diverse geologic history. In a tectonic sense, Serbia is part of an orogenic system that is composed of the Alpine, Carpathian, and Dinaride orogenic belts. Its territory can be divided into five geotectonic units of differing genesis: *Pannonian Plain, occupying the northern part of the country (Vojvodina province) *Dinaric Alps occupy western part of Central Serbia, stretching in general northwest-southeast direction * Vardar Zone is a belt east of the Dinaric alps, continuing into central North Macedonia.
