The CIA fact book gives these dates
Independence: 27 April 1992 (Federal Republic of Yugoslavia or FRY formed as self-proclaimed successor to the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia or SFRY)
National holiday: Republic Day, 29 November
Constitution: 27 April 1992
If I enter public holidays Google shows http://www.holidayfestival.com/ which says under Serbia and Montenegro:
Fixed Public Holidays
1 January New Year's Day
28 March Constitution Day (Serbia only)
27 April Yugoslav National Day
1 May International Labour Day
20 October Belgrade's Day (the capital of Yugoslavia)*
29 November Republic Day
*Celebrated but not a day off.The following are celebrated by the Orthodox community but are not days offBR>6 January Christmas Eve
7 January Christmas Day
27 January Feast of St Sava
The Thomas Cook European Timetable gives these public holidays. The editors take their list from the national railway timetables, and are thus particularly reliable. I have added my own notes on what is under celebration
Jan 1, 2, New Year's Day and New Year's Day and New Year's Morrow
Jan 7 Othodox Christian Christmas Day
April 27 Yugoslav Independence Day
May 1, 2, International Labour Day, and Morrow
May 6 and 9 Unexplained
Nov 29, 30 Republic Day, and Morrow

Hmm...can't find much on the internet however my Serbian friend has proffered the the following information: Please excuse the language...
There are usually remembrance services in Churches and on the day or day before choir singing of traditional songs at different venues. Then you usually have some folklore dancing and singing and similar sh*t. there are traditional sajam or fair gatherings with lots of food, drink, amusement, comparable to air show in Southend, or that celebration in Hyde park on 50th anniversary of V day, similar cr*p. In Serbia St Vitus day is usually associated with Battle of Kosovo (28 June 1389) so it is commemorated every year.
My only other shot is http://sane-boston.org/events.html an American-Serbian Organinsation you could try to contact directly.
Hope the above helps.
