Serbia is part of the former country of Yugoslavia, where it was the areas now comprising Croatia and Slovenia that had interest in baseball.
"Still the sport was not officially recognized by Yugoslavia's communist regime until the mid-1980s. Performances by Serb teams were not alway impressive during this period. For example, Partizans, a new Serbia team from Belgrade, allowed fifteen runs – all on walks – in a 15 to 8 loss to a Slovenian team in 1989."
