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, 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) |
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 ( de facto ) |
| LAU 2 | Settlements (Насеља / Naselja) |
