Quite so. Not to mention the fact that the medieval and early modern history of Serbia is far more relevant to current affairs than anything to do with pre-19th Century Egypt.
But from the point of view of Western Civ., it's a little off the beaten path. ("Not that there's anything WRONG with that" . . . but for a survey course it's a bit of an outlier. A history of Eastern Europe would be a VERY good secondary course though.)
