Subdivisions of Serbia


The administrative divisions of Serbia (Serbian: Administrativna podela Srbije / Административна подела Србије) are regulated by the Government of Serbia Enactment of 29 January 1992, and by the Law on Territorial Organization adopted by the National Assembly of Serbia on 29 December 2007.

Serbia is divided into 29 districts by the Enactment of 29 January 1992, while the units of the territorial organization are: municipalities and cities and autonomous provinces, by the Law on Territorial Organization.

Serbia has two autonomous provinces: Vojvodina in the north (39 municipalities and 6 cities) and Kosovo and Metohija in the south (28 municipalities and 1 city).

The province of Vojvodina has its own Assembly and Government of Vojvodina. It enjoys autonomy on certain matters, such as infrastructure, science, education and culture.

The Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija has been transferred to the administration of UNMIK since June 1999, following the Kosovo War. In February 2008, the Government of Kosovo unilaterally declared independence from Serbia, a move recognized by 111 countries (including most of the European Union and the United States) but not recognized by Serbia, Russia, China, India, Brazil, Georgia, Indonesia or the United Nations.

The five statistical regions of Serbia are:

Districts are the first level administrative subdivisions of the country and largest entities, constituted of municipalities and cities. Districts are regional centers of state authority, but have no assemblies of their own; they present purely administrative divisions, and host various state institutions such as funds, office branches and courts. Districts are not defined by the Law on Territorial Organisation, but are organised under the Government's Enactment of 29 January 1992.
