Relying on Hart's Rules (1983 edition), the AMS fonts wncy* (or even the 
obsolete mcy* ones) contain all the characters used in Serbian. In addition
to the standard Russian alphabet these are

   dj   j   lj   nj   \'c   \dzh

(using the wncy* transliteration scheme).

In fact, the AMS cyrillic fonts should be usable for any of: Russian,
Belorussian, Ukrainian, Macedonian, Serbian.
