Turks in Serbia are people ofTurkish ancestry living inSerbia. According to the data from 2022 census, 850 people declared themselves as ethnic Turks.[2]
Turks settled on the territory of present-day Serbia during theOttoman rule and traditionally have lived in towns and cities; however, in 1830, when thePrincipality of Serbia was granted autonomy, most Turks emigrated as "muhacirs" toOttoman Turkey, and by1862 almost all of the remaining Turks left Serbia, including 3,000 fromBelgrade.[3]
The Turkish civilian population, which lived almost exclusively in urban areas, started to emigrate from Serbia after it was granted the autonomous status in 1830. In 1862, all remaining Turkish civilians were to leave Serbia. According to some estimations, about 3000 Turks left Belgrade that year („Državopis Srbije" II: 15). Turkish military garrisons stationed in six towns were also to leave in 1867.
