Serbia is not a Russian colony.

In the final phase of WWII Yugoslavia managed to expel Germans by itself, thanks in no small part to it being a secondary front for a Wehrmacht which was facing disastrous situations elsewhere.

Hence the Soviets didn't occupy the country and as a result didn't manage to impose a spook system there controlled by them, as happened in the rest of the Warsaw Pact.

Yugoslavia may even have been outside the Warsaw Pact altogether IIRC. A non-aligned country leaning East, just as Sweden was a non-aligned country leaning West, during the cold war.
