- Nikola Tesla

Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists.

Bridges to Serbia

SupportSerbia.com is run by a Serbian-American family living in Honolulu and Washington, D.C. After visiting Serbia for the first time in 2011, we wanted to share what we had seen in Serbia with other Serbian-Americans and the world!

What we saw:

  • a heritage we are proud of;
  • a vibrant culture;
  • beautiful people with warm hearts;
  • and ways in which we and other Serbian-Americans can easily help people living in that country.
.

Explore our website, catch up on Serbian news, make use of some online resources, and get involved. Enjoy!
