Serbia is mostly ethnic Serb, a South Slavic Orthodox Christian people, with Hungarian, Bosniak, and Roma minorities and the multiethnic northern province of Vojvodina. Serbian, written in both Cyrillic and Latin scripts, is the official language.

Serbian Orthodox Christianity is central to national identity, with Catholic and Muslim minorities.

Society

Serbia has high literacy but a shrinking, aging population, the result of low birth rates and substantial emigration of young and skilled workers.
