Methodological explanations
Methodological explanations of quarterly calculations could be found on the SORS website (https://www.stat.gov.rs/en-us/istrazivanja/methodology-and-documents/?a=09&s=090202).
Time series at current prices, previous year prices and chain linked volume measures (reference 2015 year) and seasonally adjusted GDP calculations from the first quarter 1995 are available on the SORS website, in the database (https://data.stat.gov.rs/?caller=090202&languageCode=en-US).
Starting from 1999 the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia has not at disposal and may not provide available data relative to AP Kosovo and Metohia and therefore these data are not included in the coverage for the Republic of Serbia.
