[edit] Demographics

Šuto Orizari is the only municipality in the country (and, in fact, in the world) where Roma make up a majority of the population. Out of a total population of 17,357 in the 2002 census, 13,311 people (76.7%) were of Roma ethnicity^[1]. Other significant ethnic groups include Albanians (15.0%) and Macedonians (5.5%). During the recent conflict in Kosovo many Romani refugees found shelter here.

Due to the demographics, both Romani and Macedonian are official in Shuto Orizari, the municipality being officially-bilingual. The mayor of the municipality, Erduan Iseini, is an ethnic Rom.
