The nonrelativistic singlet state average $\langle \psi|{\vec a}\cdot\vec \sigma\otimes {\vec b}\cdot\vec \sigma|\psi\rangle =-\vec a\cdot\vec b $ can be relativistically generalized if one defines spin {\it via\/} the relativistic center-of-mass operator. The relativistic correction is quadratic in $v/c$ and can be measured in Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen-Bohm-type experiments with massive spin-1/2 particles. A deviation from the nonrelativistic formula would indicate that for relativistic nonzero-spin particles centers of mass and charge do not coincide.
