Notes

1. Officially known as the Archdiocese of Belgrade and Karlovci, encompassing only the Belgrade area. The title "of Karlovci" is in reference to old Serb church jurisdictions seated in the town (the Metropolitanate of Karlovci and the Patriarchate of Karlovci). This eparchy (diocese) is headed by the Serbian Patriarch.
