History

Turks settled on the territory of present-day Serbia during the Ottoman rule and traditionally have lived in towns and cities; however, in 1830, when the Principality of Serbia was granted autonomy, most Turks emigrated as "muhacirs" to Ottoman Turkey, and by 1862 almost all of the remaining Turks left Serbia, including 3,000 from Belgrade.
