{{main|Geography of Serbia}}
Serbia is located in the [[Balkans]] and in the [[Pannonian Plain]]. It is placed at the crossroads between [[Central Europe|Central]], [[Southern Europe|Southern]] and [[Eastern Europe]]. The [[Danube]] river (2850 km) flows through the northern third of the country; it is 588 km long and forms the border with [[Croatia]] and part of [[Romania]]. The [[Sava River|Sava]] river forms the southern border of the [[Vojvodina]] province, flows into (why do they always send the poor)the Danube in central [[Belgrade]], and bypasses the hills of the [[Fruška Gora]] in the west. Sixty kilometers to the northeast of Belgrade, the [[Tisza|Tisa]] river flows into the Danube and ends its 1350 km long journey from [[Ukraine]], and the partially navigable [[Tamis]] (60 km/350 km) flows into the Danube near [[Pancevo]]. The [[Begej]] river (254 km) flows into Tisa near [[Titel]]. All five rivers are navigable, connecting the country with ''Northern'' and ''Western Europe'' (through the [[Rhine-Main-Danube Canal]]–[[North Sea]] route), to ''Eastern Europe'' (via the Tisa–, [[Tamis]]–, [[Begej]]– and Danube–[[Black sea]] routes) and to ''Southern Europe'' (via the Sava river).
The eastern border of the country is determined by the [[Carpathian Mountain range]], which runs through the whole of [[Central Europe]]. The [[Carpathian Mountains|Carpathians]] meet the [[Balkan Mountains]], following the course of [[Velika Morava]], a 500 km long (partially navigable) river. [[Midzor]] peak is the highest point in Eastern Serbia at 2156 m. In the southeast, the [[Balkan Mountains]] meet the [[Rhodope Mountains]], connecting the country with [[Greece]]. The [[Sar Mountains]] of Kosovo form the border with [[Albania]], with one of the highest peaks in the region, [[Djeravica]] (2656 m). [[Dinaric Alps]] of Serbia follow the flow of the [[Drina river]] (at 350 km navigable for smaller vessels only) overlooking the Dinaric peaks on the other side of the shore in [[Bosnia and Herzegovina]].
