Labor Day, known as Praznik rada, is a public holiday in Serbia, celebrated on May 1st. This day is part of a global tradition honoring the labor movement and the rights of workers. It has its roots in the struggle for an eight-hour workday, which was a significant labor movement victory at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries.
The observance of Labor Day in Serbia can be traced back to the socialist period when it was celebrated as an important state holiday. It reflects both historical international labor movements and local traditions within the former Yugoslavia.
On this holiday, many Serbians take advantage of the day off to relax or engage in outdoor activities if weather permits. The day is often extended into a short vacation since May 2nd is also taken as a non-working day by many. This creates an opportunity for travel or longer countryside retreats with family and friends.
Labor Day remains a symbol of solidarity among workers in Serbia, reflecting both historical significance and contemporary relevance regarding labor rights and social justice.
