Arabs in Serbia
Arabs in Serbia (Serbian: Арапи у Србији) are mostly expatriates from a range of Arab countries, particularly Lebanon, Syria, the Palestinian Territories, Iraq, and Jordan; and also small groups from Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Libya and Sudan. Lebanese and Syrian citizens were the first Arabs to arrive in modern Serbia. As a result of the Arab Spring and the Syrian Civil War, many have the status of refugees or illegal immigrants, trying to immigrate to Western Europe.
Iraqi citizens
Most of the Iraqis in Serbia are educated people, and they view Serbia as a "friendly and brotherly" country.[1]
Syrian citizens
By the first half of 2013, 432 citizens of Syria had requested asylum in Serbia.[2]
Culture
Community members adhere to Islam (see also Islam in Serbia) and Eastern Christianity.
