Abstract
This study analyzes the formation of the national identity of Serbs in the Habsburg and Austro-Hungarian empires. The traditional elements that formed the national identity of Serbs in these areas are the orthodox religion, alphabet, military past, language, literature, civic, social and political values, people’s organizations, concern for the status of the people. The importance of the Serbian community on the territory of the Habsburgs and Austro-Hungary and its contribution to the development of national thought for independence and the creation of the Serbian state in the Ottoman Empire is also analyzed. The study should contribute to the realization of how great an influence the Serbian intellectuals, who lived outside Serbia, had in that period of the creation of the Serbian state and participated directly in its origin and development. They were the head and the Serbs in Serbia the body, forming a unity whose success was inevitable when they united in their desires.
