Municipalities of Serbia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are 166 municipalities in Serbia without Kosovo: 120 in Central Serbia and 46 in Vojvodina. Of those, 29 are urban municipalities, which are parts of cities of Belgrade (17), Kragujevac (5), Niš (5) and Novi Sad (2). Up to 1999, there was 30 municipalities in Kosovo, but they are currently under the jurisdiction of UNMIK and their borders are subject to change.[1]
Like in many other countries, municipalities are the basic entities of local autonomy in Serbia: they have assemblies elected on local elections (held every 4 years), presidents (predsednici opština), property (including public service companies) and budget. Districts (okruzi) are only administrative units, and have no assemblies or independent budget. In addition, the urban municipalities of the four cities above mentioned also have their city assemblies and other prerogatives; only their presidents are formally referred to as mayors (gradonačelnici), although the non-city municipality presidents are often informally referred to as such.
