Southern and Eastern Serbia (Template:Lang-sr) is one of five statistical regions of Serbia. It was formed in 2010. The region has a total population of 1,563,916, according to the 2011 census.
Formation
In July 2009, the Serbian parliament adopted a law which divided Serbia into seven statistical regions.[1] At first, it was decided that in the territory of current statistical region of Southern and Eastern Serbia there would be two statistical regions - Eastern Region (Template:Lang-sr) and Southern Region (Template:Lang-sr). However, in May 2010, the law was changed, thus the Eastern and Southern region were merged into a single statistical region named Southern and Eastern Serbia.
