Jugosloveni u Srbiji | related-c = Yugoslavs in Serbia refers to a community in Serbia that view themselves as Yugoslavs with no other ethnic self-identification. According to data from the 2022 census, 27,143 people or 0.4% of population of Serbia declared their ethnicity as exclusively Yugoslav.

Identity

Besides self-declared Yugoslavs, there are also Serbs, Croats, Montenegrins, Bosniaks, and people of other ethnicities in Serbia who identify themselves as Yugoslavs in a broader sense. However, they don't consider themselves to be part of a Yugoslav ethnicity, which is the way the self-declared Yugoslavs identify themselves.

Ahead of the 2022 census, a newly formed organization called National Movement "Yugoslavs" (Narodni pokret “Jugosloveni”) began campaigning to citizens of Serbia to freely self-identify as Yugoslavs, an initiative joined by a number of public figures. One of them is a radio host Daško Milinović, who also announced that work is underway for establishing the National Council of Yugoslavs in Serbia for self-identifying Yugoslavs to enjoy equal ethnic minority rights. According to Milinović, Yugoslavs are a community not in an ethnic sense but a community of common values. Among the younger generations who never lived in former Yugoslavia, identifying as Yugoslav tends to be due to their multi-ethnic background but also in protest against nationalism.

Demographics

People declaring themselves as Yugoslavs are largely concentrated in Vojvodina and Belgrade, where around 85% of all Yugoslavs in Serbia are found.
