Can you share some sites where death notices or obituaries are published in Serbia?
For instance in the US, many newspapers will have online editions where the obituary is published. Also funeral homes will publish them and older obituaries are typically found on https://www.legacy.com/ (https://www.legacy.com/)
When I search, I type in their name and "obituary" and typically I can find it in the US.
Is this possible in Serbia? Would you type Name and некролог/nekrolog? Or another word? Is there a national online newspaper or would I need to look for regional online newspapers?
I have one particular person that I am researching that died in Conoplja in 2016.

Try to google читуље or čitulje.

This is most probably, Conoplja in Sombor municipality, West Backa county. You can try and contact the municipality authorities and ask for info, they must have it. The question is if they are allowed to share it without official request

For the Belgrade region you have a website http://www.umrlice.net/ (http://www.umrlice.net/), but there are, I think, data only for public cemeteries, in Belgrade there are a number of private smaller cemeteries.

Michelle. There is a website where you can search by first name /surname or by town, and it covers Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and one part of the diaspora. This site started only five years ago, but it can be helpful in family research.

There is a website for Serbia. It goes back to 2012.

If you are seraching for older periods, you could try looking up some OCR-ised newspapers here : https://претражива.срб/
Try some keywords as čitulja, etc. or directly the name of the person you are looking for.
However the OCR is not always perfect, so you may or may not get lucky, and those are mostly big national newspapers so they would not have necrologies of less known/wealthy people.

Thank you Ljiljana! I have bookmarked all of these sites. I enjoy research and try to help others in America if I am able.
