Suicide statistics for Serbia
Age-standardised rate per 100,000 people, 2021, as published by the World Health Organization.
All

Men
15
per 100,000 · WHO range 11.7–21.1
Women

The median across all 184 countries WHO publishes is 8.3. Serbia is above that median — which is a fact about death registration and population health, and not a judgement about the country or the people in it.
What this number is not
It is an estimate with a published range, not a count. It depends heavily on how deaths are investigated and recorded in Serbia, which differs between countries far more than most readers expect. And it describes a whole population over a year — it says nothing about any individual, including you.
