Happy dan državnosti Srbije!

The present Doodle observes Serbia’s National Day honoring the First Serbian Uprising which started precisely 216 years back. Known as the first revolution in the Balkan region, it made ready for the drafting of the First Constitution of the Principality of Serbia, which was officially embraced on this day in 1835.

Otherwise called Statehood Day, Serbia’s National Day traditionally starts with a memorial service followed by a representative wreath laying in recognition of the 1804 Serbian upset.

The celebrations proceed with addresses from national leaders who ponder Serbia’s progress to turn into the bound unified country it is today. All through the multi-day holiday and consistently, the tricolor Serbian flag—depicted in the present Doodle fine art—gladly remains as an symbol of the country’s solidarity.
