Serbia, officially the Republic of Serbia, is a landlocked country in South-eastern and Central Europe, situated at the crossroads of the Pannonian Plain and the Balkans. Serbia has many natural features that makes it beautiful. From mountains to rivers, this country has some of it all. One of the most impressive mountain ranges in Serbia is the Carpathian and Balkan Mountains.

Serbia is also a pet friendly destination to travel to with your furry companion. While relocating with pets, it is important to keep the following things in mind-
