Its creation was negotiated first through an unwritten agreement between Miloš Obrenović, leader of the Second Serbian Uprising and Ottoman official Marashli Pasha. Its de facto independence ensued in 1867, following the expulsion of all Ottoman troops from the country; Internationall independence was recognized in 1878. In 1882 the country was elevated to the status of kingdom.Show more

Vostani Serbije ("Arise, Serbia"; Serbian Cyrillic: Востани Сербије), also known as Pesna na insurekciju Serbijanov ("A poem on the insurrection of the Serbs"; Песна на инсурекцију Сербијанов), is a Serbian patriotic song, originally a poem written by Dositej Obradović, published in Vienna in 1804, "dedicated to Serbia and her brave warriors and sons and to their leader Georgije Petrović" at the beginning of the First Serbian Uprising that transformed into the Serbian Revolution against the Ottoman Empire.

(English Lyrics / Translation)
Arise, Serbia! Arise, empress!
and let your children see your face.
Make them turn their hearts and eyes on you,
and let them hear your sweet voice.

Refrain:
Arise, Serbia!
You fell asleep long ago,
And have lain in the dark.
Now wake up
And rouse the Serbs!
