Labor Day, known as "Praznik rada" in Serbia, is a public holiday celebrated on May 1st.

Today, while some of its political significance has diminished over time, Labor Day remains an important national holiday. It serves as a time for relaxation and leisure. Many people use this day as an opportunity to take short trips or engage in communal activities that foster a sense of unity and celebration.
