History Of The Serbian Army
The history of the Serbian Army dates back to the early 19th century. Serbian Revolutionary Army (1804-1817) During the 18th century, Serbs had fought the Turks as auxiliaries to the Austrian army on both sides of the Turkish border, and had been important in defending the 20-year Austro-Hungarian rule over Belgrade and the northern parts of Serbia.
