Serbia address format & examples

How to write a Serbian address

Due to unique geographic and hydrological conditions, the Tisza River in Serbia is said to flow backward periodically! Another interesting fact about Serbia is that they produce 35% of the world's raspberries! Delicious. So now you're wondering how to address a letter to Serbia requesting some of those sweet berries. You've come to the right place. We’ll provide you with a Serbian address example and world-class tools to help validate the Serbian address, or any address, for that matter.

Serbia’s address format is simple, and Smarty’s tools are excellent. You can validate your Serbian address and get it returned formatted, standardized, and validated faster than you can postmark that raspberry letter. Address formatting for letters to Serbia can be written out like this:

  1. Addressee line - Using appropriate titles for the region, first put the recipient’s name.
  2. Street and building number - List one after the other without any separating punctuation. Seriously, don’t put a comma.
  3. Postal code and city - The postal code goes first followed by the city the address is in and also doesn’t require any commas.
  4. Country - Written in all caps, SRB.
