Turks in Serbia (Serbian: Турци у Србији, romanized: Turci u Srbiji; Turkish: Sırbistan'daki Türkler), also referred to as Turkish Serbians and Serbian Turks, are people of Turkish ancestry living in Serbia. Turks settled on the territory of present-day Serbia during the Ottoman rule and traditionally have lived in towns and cities; however, in 1830, when the Principality of Serbia was granted autonomy, most Turks emigrated as "muhacirs" to Ottoman Turkey, and by 1862 almost all of the remaining Turks left Serbia, including 3,000 from Belgrade.[2] According to the data from 2022 census, only 850 people declared themselves as Turks, though this does not include the Turkish minority in Kosovo.[3]
