It has been many different types of country.

"Because the Soviets never occupied Yugoslavia. Yugoslav partisans expelled the Axis from Serbia in 1944 and the rest of Yugoslavia in 1945. The Soviets and British Commonwealth forces linked up with them near the end of the war, but withdrew after Germany surrendered." (Bob Yahoo Answers)

What great power backed Serbia in 1914?
During the Serbian Campaign in 1914, Serbia was supported by France and opposed by Austria-Hungary and later, Germany and Bulgaria.
Serbia was a part of no formal alliance until 1912, but its independence was guaranteed by Russia in March 1909 in return for Serbian recognition of Austria-Hungary's annexation of Bosnia-Hercegovina.
In 1912 Serbia joined with Bulgaria, Greece and Montenegro in The Balkan League, with the intention of seizing the Ottoman Empire's European territory and dividing it up between them. Bulgaria went to war against its former allies the following year after being denied its agreed share.
How was Yugoslavia ruled under soviet control?
Yugoslavia was never under Soviet control. From 1945 to the late 1980's Yugoslavia was a communist state, but it was not allied to the Soviet Union or to the other communist states in Eastern Europe. It behaved separately from the Soviet Bloc and refused to ally with either the US or the USSR. It was an officially "non-aligned" country, just like India, which was a democracy but not allied with the US.
For most of its post-war history, Yugoslavia was ruled as a dictatorship by Josip Broz, aka. Marshal Tito. He maintained a centralised state to make sure that the member nationalities did not drift towards independence. In the late 1980's Tito died and Yugoslavia began to drift towards democracy. This was a problem because without communism to hold them together, the member nationalities started to go their own way. In particular, when Tito died, the constitution was changed to give Serbia much greater control over the rest of the federation. This annoyed the other nationalities and made them want to break away.
Will One Direction come to Serbia?
I'm guessing that One Direction will not becoming to Serbia in 2012 or 2013 because they will be in the USA.
However, I would say that they probably will be coming to Serbia (or near Serbia) in the next couple of years when they go on a world tour.

Serbia become de facto independent from Ottoman empire in 1804. and 1807. And de jure in 1830.

Germany invaded Poland in 1939 and in the next few years invaded much of Europe.
