Ethnic group
Serbs in the Netherlands or Serbian Dutch are Dutch citizens of Serb ethnic descent or Serbia-born people who reside in the Netherlands. According to data from 2024, there were 20,297 people of Serb ethnic descent or Serbian citizenship in the Netherlands, out of which 11,817 were Serbia-born.[1]
The first Serbian immigrants to the Netherlands arrived before the outbreak of the World War I. In 1925, there were 4,000 Yugoslavs in the Netherlands, mostly settled in the southern mining areas. After World War II, especially in the 1960s, a second larger group arrived, which was increased in the 1970s by a wave of business representatives from the socialist Yugoslavia, among which half were of Serb origin.
In the late 1980s, the Serbian immigrant community have had a dozen of associations.
In the village of Garderen, municipality of Barneveld, Gelderland province, there is a monument to 29 soldiers of the Royal Serbian Army who died in the Netherlands from the Spanish flu after the end of World War I with the inscription in Serbian and Dutch: “Умрли за Србију” / “Gestorven voor Serbie” (“Fallen for Serbia”) and “Благодарна Отаџбина Србија” / “Het Dankbaar Serbische Vaderland” (“Grateful fatherland Serbia”).[2][3]
