Catholic dioceses in Serbia

The Catholic Church in Serbia consists of several Latin Catholic and one Eastern Catholic jurisdictions. The Latin Catholic hierarchy consists of one ecclesiastical province with archdiocese centered in national capital city of Belgrade, with two suffragan dioceses, in Subotica and Zrenjanin. Also, there is the separate Diocese of Syrmia, suffragan to the Archdiocese of Đakovo-Osijek (metropolitan province centered in Croatia). The Apostolic Administration of Prizren, centered in Prizren, is exempt and directly subjected to the Holy See. The only Eastern Catholic jurisdiction is Apostolic Exarchate of Serbia of the Byzantine Rite. There is also an Apostolic Nunciature as papal diplomatic representation in Serbia.

Notes

a. ^ Kosovo is the subject of a territorial dispute between the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of Serbia. The Republic of Kosovo unilaterally declared independence on 17 February 2008, but Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory. The two governments began to normalise relations in 2013, as part of the Brussels Agreement. Kosovo has received formal recognition as an independent state from 113 out of 193 United Nations member states.
