Ethnic group
Serbs in Malta are Maltese citizens of ethnic Serb ancestry and/or Serbia-born persons living in Malta. According to the 2021 census, there were 5,935 Serbia-born people living in Malta, forming fifth-largest foreign-born group in the country.[2]
Serb immigration to Malta is a very recent phenomenon. Their number has steadily grown throughout the 2010s, driven by Malta’s European Union membership expansion, economic opportunities in tourism and construction, and Malta’s appeal as a Mediterranean hub.[3] This growth hasn’t been without challenges: in 2019, 22 Serbian children faced deportation risks due to parents’ income thresholds under Malta’s tightened immigration rules, prompting diplomatic intervention from Serbia and a Maltese fundraising campaign that raised over €20,000.[4]
