History

The Serbian Olympic Club was established on February 23, 1910. Major Svetomir Đukić is considered the founder of the Olympic movement in Serbia. In 1912, the Serbian Olympic Club changed its name to the Olympic Committee of Serbia and that year it was recognized by the International Olympic Committee. After the Creation of Yugoslavia, the Yugoslav Olympic Committee was created in Zagreb in 1919, before moving to Belgrade in 1927. It was recognized by the IOC in 1920.
After the country was renamed from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia to Serbia and Montenegro in 2003, it changed its name to the Olympic Committee of Serbia and Montenegro. In 2006, Serbia became an independent country following the Montenegrin independence referendum, and the Olympic Committee of Serbia reverted to its original name. Belgrade, the capital of Serbia and Yugoslavia, submitted two separate bids to host the 1992 Summer Olympics and the 1996 Summer Olympics.
