21 Feb 2008 (Reuters) The Government of Serbia is organizing a demonstration against Kosovo's independence, later this afternoon. To that end, it has decreed that all schools and educational institutions would be closed for the day, and urged businesses to give the day off to their workers. Most government services are also expected to be closed for the day, while the nationalized train system has been requisitioned for the day to provide free transportation to people traveling to the demonstration in Belgrade. • 06 Apr 2007 (Ministry of Work, Health and Social Afairs) On March 29, 2007, as a corollary to the June 2006 separation of Montenegro, the Serbian Government announced that Constitution Day (April 27) will no longer be a public holiday in Serbia, as that date referred to the constitution of the former entity. From now on, the Constitution Day public holiday will be observed on February 15, formerly the date of Serbia's National Day. • 29 Jan 2007 (Hufvudstadsbladet) U.N. Plan Paves Way for Kosovo Independence. If the United Nations Security Council approves the plan, Kosovo is expected to quickly declare its independence and could expect swift recognition from its American and European supporters, even if Serbia rejected such a move. We will soon be adding Kosovo to the list of countries covered by the Q++ Studio Worlwide Public Holidays Database. • 03 Jan 2007 The Belgrade Stock Exhange (BELEX) will be closed until January 8, 2007. • 01 Dec 2006 Next parliamentary elections - January 21, 2007. • More News Updates For the full version of the summarized news items above, and older news items not displayed above, go to the Serbia public holidays news and updates page, or worldwide public holidays news and updates page, or subscribe to one of our free email newsletters.

Saint Vitus' Day: June 28th. • Other Sources of Information For information not covered here, see the following specialized websites: National Bank of Serbia (Serbia central bank), ASI Hot Spots (security-related world events: terrorist threats, political strife, strikes, criminal activity, aviation incidents and health outbreaks), CIA World Factbook (maps, demographic and economic statistics), Copp Clark (financial markets' trading hours, settlement holidays and currency non-clearing days), and the IFES Election Guide (information covering upcoming elections, referenda, electoral structures and past voter participation).
