== Population and culture ==
The 2022 census recorded 6,647,003 inhabitants in Serbia. Serbs accounted for 80.64 per cent of the population. Hungarians, Bosniaks, Roma, Albanians, Slovaks, Croats, Romanians, Vlachs, Bulgarians, Rusyns, Macedonians, and other communities also live in the country.

Serbian was recorded as the mother tongue of most inhabitants. Hungarian, Bosnian, Romani, Albanian, Slovak, Romanian, and other languages are spoken by minority communities. Serbian Orthodox Christianity is the largest religious tradition. Roman Catholic, Muslim, Protestant, Jewish, and other religious communities maintain institutions and places of worship.

Serbian culture developed through Byzantine, Orthodox, Ottoman, Habsburg, central European, and South Slavic influences. Medieval monasteries preserve religious architecture, manuscripts, and wall paintings. Belgrade and Novi Sad contain the main national museums, theatres, publishing institutions, universities, and music organizations.

The [[University of Belgrade]] is the country's largest university. Other major universities operate in Novi Sad, Niš, Kragujevac, and Novi Pazar. Football, basketball, volleyball, water polo, tennis, and handball are among the most widely followed sports.
