Public holidays generally split into two kinds: fixed-date ones that land on the same calendar day every year — a founding or independence anniversary, for instance — and movable ones whose date shifts annually because they follow a different calendar system entirely. Serbia's calendar can include holidays governed by the Easter computus that many Christian-majority countries use, the Hijri lunar calendar behind Islamic observances such as Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, or a lunisolar cycle behind holidays like Lunar New Year. Countries across Europe vary widely in which calendar systems their holidays follow, Serbia included — that variation is exactly why the calendar above computes each year's date individually rather than repeating one.
Under Serbia's labor law, fixed-date national public holidays carry mandatory non-working status for public administration, financial institutions, and commercial enterprises — 1 such holiday is documented for Serbia in the table above, currently sourced from Serbia's official government portal, pending independent confirmation, including Dan državnosti Srbije (Statehood Day) on February 15. Official gazette announcements are published by government authorities to confirm these mandated closures.
Worth separating, too: a true public holiday is a legally mandated non-working day — banks, schools and government offices close by law or long-standing custom. An observance is different — culturally or religiously notable, but without a mandated closure (Valentine's Day and Earth Day are common examples worldwide). This page focuses specifically on public holidays, the ones that actually affect scheduling.
Serbia is also divided into states and provinces, and countries structured this way often layer a regional founding day, a local patron festival or a province-specific holiday on top of the national calendar — observed in one state but not nationwide. The calendar above covers Serbia's national holidays; see the Serbia states & provinces directory for population and government data on each one.
