NUTS statistical regions of Serbia

As a candidate country of the European Union, Serbia (RS) is in the process of being included in the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS). However, due to the ongoing dispute with Kosovo[lower-alpha 1], it has not yet agreed with the European Commission and Eurostat. The proposed three NUTS levels are:

Level Subdivisions #
NUTS 1 Groups of Regions (Групе региона / Grupe regiona) 2
NUTS 2 Regions (Региони / Regioni) 5
4
(de facto)
NUTS 3 Districts (Окрузи / Okruzi) 29
24
(de facto)

Local administrative units

Below the NUTS levels, the two LAU (Local Administrative Units) levels are:

Level Subdivisions #
LAU 1 Municipalities and cities
(Општине и градови / Opštine i gradovi)		 145+29
117+28

Notes and references

  1. ↑ 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.
