History

edit

Serbs inhabited Belarus for different reasons and in different periods of time. Among them were members of noble families, church dignitaries, propagators of all-Slavic ideas, educational reformers, as well as people who were engaged in culture and various scientific disciplines. There were also Serbian fighters in Belarus who fought in the world wars of the twentieth century. In World War I, there were several camps in Minsk, Gomel and other places where Serbian volunteers gathered. It is known that around three hundred Serbs from Bačka and Baranja fought in Belarus as part of fifty partisan units in World War II, and this is evidenced by the lists from the former Party Museum in Minsk. Today, it is estimated that around 1,000 Serbs live in Belarus. The Serbian Center is an active cultural and educational community.[2]
