Tito

There is strangely hardly any mention of Tito in this article on Serbia, despite the fact that Yugoslavia is discussed in detail and he was surely the most influential political figure in Yugoslavia. 2402:8100:316D:D593:AC10:C58C:9A7C:D340 (talk) 13:56, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Foreign relations

There is a dedicated section on foreign relations, it does not make sense to duplicate the same information about relations with Russia in the history section, which of course, is about the history of Serbia. The "biggest modern event in decades" is not a valid reason to duplicate information. It is already mentioned in the relevant section. If it was not significant, it would not be mentioned at all. Mellk (talk) 21:01, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you outright remove that Serbia faced negative international reactions for choosing not to sanction Russia? TylerBurden (talk) 21:10, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have just explained this. Serbia voting to condemn the invasion and not sanctioning Russia is already mentioned in the foreign relations section. This is precisely about foreign relations, this is not to do with the history of Serbia. Please self-revert. Mellk (talk) 21:13, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Recent changes

I’ve removed and updated several images in the article, which previously had a dozen and didn’t look very polished. If you have any suggestions for further improving the article, please share your feedback. Currently, the section on the breakup of Yugoslavia and political transition includes three images, but I won’t make any changes to this without reaching a consensus. — Sadko (words are wind) 17:41, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
