Map of Serbia with districts and municipalities shown.

Districts (Serbian: Okruzi/Окрузи ) are the administrative units of Serbia, comprising several municipalities each.

The slavic word okrug (округ) denotes administrative subdivision in some states. Its etymology is similar to the German Kreis, circle (in the meaning of administrative division) (although translated in German as Bezirk): okrug is literally something "encircling".

In the subdivisions of Serbia, the term is translated as district, sometimes as county.

The territorial order of the Republic of Serbia is regulated by the Law on Territorial Organization and Local Self-Government, adopted in the National Assembly on July 24, 1991 (last amended 1999)^[1]. According to the law, "Territorial organization of the Republic comprises municipalities and cities are the territorial units where the local autonomy is exercized, city of Belgrade as a separate territorial unit, and autonomous provinces as a form of territorial autonomy".

By its Enactment of 29 January 1992, the Government of Serbia defined the districts as "regional centers of state authority", enacting affairs run by the relevant Ministries. The Republic of Serbia is divided into 29 districts + district city of Belgrade.^[2]
