Metodological explanations
The presented data on live births and deaths are collected by the monthly report of vital statistics (form Dem-5). The report is completed based of the data on live births and deaths after the facts of births and deaths are entered into the register books by the place where it happened.
Starting from 1998 the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia has not at disposal and may not provide available certain data relative to AP Kosovo and Metohia and therefore these data are not included in the coverage for the Republic of Serbia (total).
