Serbs in Belarus are Belarus citizens of ethnic Serb descent and/or Serbia-born persons living in Belarus. It is estimated that around 500 Serbs, mostly expatriates live in Belarus.[1]
In World War I, there were several camps in Minsk, Gomel, and other places where Serb volunteers gathered. It is known that around three hundred Serbs from Bačka and Baranya fought in Belarus as part of fifty partisan units in World War II, evidenced by the lists from the former Party Museum in Minsk. There is a Serbian Center in Minsk.[2]
