List of cities and municipalities
This is a list of cities and municipalities (excluding city municipalities) in Serbia, as defined by the ''Law on territorial organisation''
The data on population is taken from the 2011 census.
[Comparative overview of the number of population in 1948, 1953, 1961, 1971, 1981, 1991, 2002 and 2011](_blank)

It does not include municipalities in Kosovo created by the
UNMIK after 1999. The census was not conducted in Kosovo, which was under administration of UNMIK, so the population numbers are not given for the municipalities in Kosovo.
According to the statistic criteria, the settlements in the table are classified as "urban" (i.e. cities and towns), as opposed to "rural" (villages). These criteria are not limited to the settlement size, but also include the percentage of residents engaged in agriculture, population density etc. Thus, not all towns in statistical sense are greater than villages, and they are not always municipality centers. Note that the population of the
city municipalities of some cities were not presented as unique, but united in the city population.
