Many contemporary cultural traits can be traced back to Ottoman period. 3. Modern Serbia was formed after gaining it's independence in 1815. and after going through many stages of uniting with the neighboring Slavic republics, the union finally disintegrated through a long process which started in 1991, leaving independent Republic of Serbia as it's resulting form of existence.
