(詳細はlocal government in Serbia. Serbia is divided into 150 municipalities (''opštine'') and 24 cities (''gradovi''). Of the 150 municipalities, 41 are located in Southern and Eastern Serbia, 42 in Šumadija and Western Serbia, 39 in Vojvodina and 28 (de facto 37) in Kosovo. Of the 24 cities, 6 are in Southern and Eastern Serbia, 10 in Šumadija and Western Serbia, 6 in Vojvodina, 1 in Kosovo, and 1 (Belgrade) has a status of separate statistical region.〔 A city may and may not be divided into city municipalities (''gradske opštine'') depending on their size. Currently, there are six cities in Serbia with ''city municipalities'': Belgrade, Novi Sad, Niš, Kragujevac, Požarevac and Vranje comprise several city municipalities, divided into "urban" (in the city proper) and "other" (suburban). There are 33 city municipalities (17 in Belgrade, 5 in Niš, 5 in Kragujevac, 2 in Novi Sad, 2 in Požarevac and 2 in Vranje). ==Municipalities== Like in many other countries, municipalities are the basic entities of local government in Serbia. The head of the municipality is the ''President of the municipality'', while the executive power is held by the ''Municipal council'', and legislative power by the ''Municipal assembly''. Municipal assembly is elected on local elections (held every 4 years), while the President and the Council are elected by the Assembly. Municipalities have their own property (including public service companies) and budget. Only the cities officially have mayors (''gradonačelnici''), although the municipal presidents are often informally referred to as such. The territory of a municipality is composed of a town (seat of the municipality) and surrounding villages. The municipality bears the name of the seat town〔Only one municipality (Municipality of Gora) does not share the name with the seat town, as the seat of that municipality is the town of Dragaš. This municipality is located in Kosovo, and thus exists only on paper. The territory of the municipality was merged with part of the Municipality of Prizren in 2000 by UNMIK to form new Municipality of Dragaš. This move is not recognised by Serbian Government (see Municipalities and cities of Kosovo section).〕 (e.g. the territory of the ''Municipality of Kikinda'' is composed of the town of Kikinda, which is the seat of the municipality, and surrounding villages.). Advocates of reform of Serbian local self-government system point out that Serbian municipalities (with 50,000 citizens in average) are the largest in Europe, both by territory and number of residents, and as such can be inefficient in handling citizens' needs and distributing the income from the country budget into most relevant projects. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Municipalities and cities of Serbia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
