List of the largest cities in Serbia
This is a list of the biggest cities in Serbia .
By far the largest agglomeration in Serbia is Belgrade with a population of 1,755,625 (as of January 1, 2006). This means that 16 percent of the country's people live in the capital region.
The following table contains the cities with more than 20,000 inhabitants , the results of the censuses of March 31, 1991 and April 1, 2002 as well as a calculation for January 1, 2006. The higher-level administrative unit (province of Kosovo and Metochien and Vojvodina ) is also listed who owns the city.
The part of Serbia (more than half of the country) that does not belong to these two provinces does not form a separate political unit, therefore there is no official name for it. The term Central Serbia is used informally . The population figures refer to the respective urban settlement in the narrower sense - the geographical urban area - not to the city or municipality in the political sense. These are given in the list of municipalities in Serbia .
