The Catholic Church in Serbia consists of several Latin Catholic and one Eastern Catholic jurisdictions. The Latin Catholic hierarchy consists of one ecclesiastical province with archdiocese centered in national capital city of Belgrade, with two suffragan dioceses, in Subotica and Zrenjanin. Also, there is the separate Diocese of Syrmia, suffragan to the Archdiocese of Đakovo-Osijek (metropolitan province centered in Croatia). The Diocese of Prizren-Pristina, centered in Prizren, is exempt and directly subjected to the Holy See. The only Eastern Catholic jurisdiction is the Greek Catholic Eparchy of Ruski Krstur of the Byzantine Rite. There is also an Apostolic Nunciature as papal diplomatic representation in Serbia.
