It is on the most important land route linking Europe and Asia and is referred to as the crossroads of Europe. Its river valleys are the shortest link between Western and Central Europe, on the one side, and the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, on the other (Figure 1). Serbian rivers belong to the basins of the Black, Adriatic, and Aegean Seas. The longest river is the Danube, with 588 km of its 2,857 km course flowing through the country.
