Not in the Second Balkan War (Not that there were 'good' sides in that one).
Though they were certainly on the worse side. They also weren't on the right side in the 1885 war. And it's rather doubtful there was a right side in WW1. And in WW2 they were on the right side only because of a coup.
As for more recent times they were on the right side in the war in Croatia and the Kosovo war.

Nope, wrong every time actually. The dream of a Greater Serbia just didn't work out, and now it is the Lesser Serbia, and the poorest country in Europe (well along with Kosovo now I guess).
So you are saying that the Axis was the right side during WW2?
And Serbia certainly isn't the poorest country in Europe.  Kosovo, Albania, Macedonia, Moldova, the Transcaucasian republics (if you consider them to be in Europe) are poorer. Even Bulgaria is worse off in most respects.

Yes, basically.

Fought the Crusaders, fought the Ottomans, fought the 19th/20th Century European imperalist pigs like that trash Franz Ferdinand and the Nazis.

I'd also argue they were on the right side in Kosovo and largely in Croatia (at least, the Republic of Serbian Krajina was the right side in that war against the Croat state.) So that basically leaves only Bosnia were they were in the wrong.

The Crusaders and Franz Ferdinand weren't wrong.
The Crusaders did things of which even today Western Christians should be ashamed. Franz Ferdinand represented a decrepit state which was one of the main reasons for WW1

Replying to both you and Xahar. The Crusaders were no different then the invading Muslims of that time period. The Crusaders were simply repelling a foreign invader and reclaiming holy lands and the Muslims wanted to dominate and conquer Europe. As for the second part I support the Austrian empire out of family pride and loyalty.
The Crusaders were far worse than the Muslims in terms of atrocities they commited. They also attacked Eastern Orthodox Christians, without provocation because they thought they were heretics. Durings the Crusades Jews were also targeted, as were pagans.
