Members of Australia's Serbian community have donated about 300 books on Serbian literature and culture to the University of Melbourne.

It's hoped the titles will help promote research into a wider area of Slavic studies.

The collection was a gift from various libraries and publishers in Serbia, including the National Library of Serbia.

University Librarian, Phillip Kent told Biljana Ristic from SBS Radio's Serbian program about the significance of the donation.
