A second chance presented itself in the 28th minute as the ball was headed out from a corner, but this time Stankovic shot over from 20 yards.
Serbia continued to press and looked sure to open the scoring when a long ball from defence caught Northern Ireland off guard.
Pantelic was in pursuit but, with Camp committed and Gareth McAuley pressuring, he lifted his shot over the bar.
Jonny Evans was having a hard night keeping pace with the busy Zoran Tosic but did manage to block the winger's goalbound shot as half-time approached.
Healy, a willing but frustrated presence up front, took a boot to the head before the interval, Slobodan Rajkovic booked for high feet.
Northern Ireland regrouped during half-time and re-emerged with a higher line and better shape.
Their big chance came after 55 minutes when Grant McCann's shot ricocheted off a defender and found Jonny Evans on the left.
He chipped a cross into the centre where his brother Corry was waiting but the midfielder put a free header high and wide from close range.
There was another chance within minutes, Brunt pinging a 40-yard pass to Healy, whose cross was messily handled by Jorgacevic.conveyancing quotes
