I haven't played Serbia for a while but I think this is true. If you play high period, then Greece and Constantinople are rebel held and open to bribery if you move fast before anyone else gets them. Boosts the size of your rather small starting army and hugely increases your income without a fight.
it's not a *huge* deal but i do like to be close to iron and a lot of trade resources, if possible. when playing as someone like Bohemia, it can be pretty challenging trying to manage your economy without running out of florins early in the game(unless you bribe Flanders or go to war early)
