• Tokanization and sentence segmentation was performed with Unitex corpus processing suite (https://unitexgramlab.org/);
• UD morphosyntactic tagging and lemmatisation with Treetagger model trained for Serbian (http://obrada.jerteh.rs/) and integrated into TXM tool (http://textometrie.ens-lyon.fr/),
• Named entity tagging with SrpNER implemented in Unitex (http://ner.jerteh.rs/),
• The output of SrpNER was simplified and mapped to ELTEC NER tagset described in the Annotation guidelines for ELTEC NER using NER & Beyond (http://nerbeyond.jerteh.rs/).

• Annotation leader: Ranka Stanković, JeRTeH & University of Belgrade;
• Contributors: Cvetana Krstev, Mihailo Škorić, Branislava Šandrih Todorović, Milica Ivković Nešić, JeRTeH & University of Belgrade.
