The Serbian Championships 2023 took place on June 6–14 in Senta, with the open and women’s tournaments running concurrently. Both competitions were 10-player round robins with classical time controls.

Aleksandar Injic entered the open section as the top seed and lived up to expectations, leading the field from start to finish. Going into the final round a halfpoint ahead of his main rival Robert Markus, he gradually outplayed Borko Lajthajm and secured the title.
