The Serbs in Sweden (Swedish: Serber) were few prior to the 1960s, some came after the World War II, mostly seeking political asylum. The greatest proportion of Serbs came together with Greeks, Italians, and Turks under the visa agreements in times of severe labour shortages or when particular skills were deficient within Sweden[2]. During the '60s and '70s, agreements were signed with the governments of Yugoslavia to help Sweden overcome its severe labour shortage[3].

Bosnian and Croatian Serbs migrated to European countries again in a wave during and after the Yugoslav wars. Another wave of Kosovan Serbs came during the Kosovo war in 1999.
