This song "Vostani Serbie" was my personal favorite for a national hymn.

Intresting, why "Serbie"? Shouldn't it be "Srbijo"?
Or is it a dialect of Serbian?

It is older Serbian language spoken in 18th and 19th century with remaining parts of Old Slavic language(Staroslovenski jezik).Old Slavic language is the oldest in Europe after Greek and Latin.
It's not a dialect.No one speak like that today.We can understand it,but we don't speak like that.Influence of Russian language was big in XVIII century,and you can see that some words in the text are more like a kind of Russian.
Example is also word "vostani".We say "ustani"(rise up,stand up).
PS
I'm sorry,but I can't find the translation.The text is really nice.
Spectator:
Yes, I noticed it is closer to Russian :)
In modern Russian it sounds "Восстань, Сербия" ("Vosstanj Serbija") for "Rise up Serbia",
and "Встань, Сербия" ("Vstanj, Serbija") for "Stand up Serbia"
