Islam in Serbia is primarily represented by the Bosniaks, a Muslim ethnic group, and the Sandžak region, where a significant Muslim population resides. The Islamic Community of Serbia oversees religious practices and institutions, including mosques and schools, promoting Islamic education and culture. The history of Islam in Serbia dates back to the Ottoman Empire, which ruled the region for several centuries. Today, Muslims make up about 3% of the population, contributing to the country's cultural diversity while coexisting with the predominantly Orthodox Christian community.
