Entry and stay rules

Serbia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs lists U.S. ordinary passport holders as visa-free for visits of up to 90 days in a six-month period starting from first entry.

How this relates to Schengen days

Serbia is outside the Schengen area. A stay there is not Schengen presence, but repeated exits do not erase earlier days from Schengen's rolling calculation.

A stay outside the Schengen area is not itself a reset. The 90/180 calculation remains rolling and prior Schengen days continue to count until they leave the relevant window.

The destination's entry rules depend on nationality and travel document. Check the linked official source before departure.
