Romani people, or Roma (Serbian: Роми, romanized: Romi), are the fourth largest ethnic group in Serbia, numbering 131,936 (1.98%) according to the 2022 census.[1] However, due to a legacy of poor birth registration and some other factors, this official number is likely underestimated.[4][5] Anywhere between 46,000[6] to 97,000[7] Roma are internally displaced from Kosovo after 1999.
Another name used for the community is Cigani (Serbian Cyrillic: Цигани), although the term is today considered pejorative and is not officially used in public documents. They are divided into numerous subgroups, with different, although related, Romani dialects and history.
