Germanic cultural influence in Serbian culture

[Moje ime]

Turkish cultural influence in Serbian culture is often exaggerated on this forum.

I always thought it is unfairly neglected how much Germanic cultural influence actually is in Serbian culture.
Part of modern Serbia (Northern Serbia - Vojvodina) and Bosnia were parts of Habsburg monarchy so Germanic cultural influence is present probably as much as Ottoman is.

If those two cultures compare, Serbia was always culturally more turned towards Germany than Turkey. While central Serbia was still under Ottoman occupation and in the beginning of 20th century Serbs from Serbia and Vojvodina who could afford higher education were going to Germany, not in Istanbul.

But for some reason Germanic cultural influence is not mentioned so much as Ottoman cultural influence.

I won't evaluate here is foreign cultural influence good or bad and which one is better or worse. I'm just presenting facts.
