Establishment

A small army was established in 1830 on Russia's initiative, after the Russian victory over the Ottomans in the Russo-Turkish War (1828–29), and the signing of the Treaty of Adrianople (1829), which re-guaranteed the autonomy of Serbia as per the earlier Akkerman Convention (1826).

History

Serbian officers participated in the Serb uprising of 1848–49 and the Herzegovina uprising (1875–1877). During and after the Serbian–Turkish Wars (1876–1878), between 30,000 and 70,000 Muslims, mostly Albanians, were expelled by the Serbian army from the Sanjak of Niș and fled to the Kosovo Vilayet.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
