'''Belgrade City Administration''' ({{langx|sr|Управа града Београда|Uprava grada Beograda}}), was an administrative district of the [[Kingdom of Yugoslavia]] from 1929 to 1941. Its administrative center was [[Belgrade]].
==History==
The [[Kingdom of Yugoslavia|Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes]] was formed in 1918 and was initially divided into counties and districts (1918–1922) and administrative oblasts (1922-1929). In 1929, the name of the country was changed to the [[Kingdom of Yugoslavia]] and new administrative units known as banovinas (Serbo-Croatian: ''banovine'', бановине) were introduced. The whole country was divided into 9 banovinas, while the area around the capital [[Belgrade]] was organized as a separate district known as the ''Belgrade City Administration''. Before 1929, the territory of the Belgrade City Administration was divided between the [[Belgrade Oblast]] and the [[Syrmia Oblast]].{{Citation needed|date=April 2023}}
In 1941, following the [[Axis powers|Axis]] invasion, occupation and partition of Yugoslavia, the district was abolished and most of its territory was incorporated into the newly formed districts of [[Belgrade]] and [[Zrenjanin|Veliki Bečkerek]] within [[Territory of the Military Commander in Serbia|German-occupied Serbia]]. A smaller part of the district was attached to [[Valkó County|Vuka County]] within the [[Independent State of Croatia]].
==Geography==
The Belgrade City Administration was completely surrounded by the [[Danube Banovina]], whose capital was [[Novi Sad]]. The administration included the city of [[Belgrade]], as well as the neighboring cities of [[Zemun]] and [[Pančevo]].<ref>[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e8/Dunavskabanovina.jpg Image] wikimedia.org</ref>
==Demographics==
Inhabitants of the district were mainly [[Serbs]], but members of some other ethnicities ([[Germans of Serbia|Germans]], [[Hungarians in Serbia|Hungarians]], [[Croats of Serbia|Croats]], etc) were present in the area.
