Belgrade There is few people who know that 18 Roman emperors (about one in four) were born on the territory of modern Serbia. Many of them left their mark in history. The fact that the Balkans are the cradle of modern Western civilization is confirmed by the oldest settlement in the world - Lepenski Vir, which has more than 8000 years.
