A Serbophile is a person who has a strong positive predisposition or interest toward the government, culture, history, or people of Serbia. This could include Serbia itself and its history, the Serbian language, Serbian cuisine, literature, etc. The opposite of a Serbophile is a Serbophobe – who has a strong negative predisposition toward or dislike of the government, culture, history or people of Serbia.
Historically, Serbophilia has been associated with supporters of the history of Serbian Empire and Serbian Monarchy.
