Ukrainians are recognized ethnic minority in Serbia. According to data from the 2022 census, there were 3,969 Ukrainians living in Serbia. They mostly live in the region of Vojvodina, more specifically in Bačka and Syrmia.
In addition to ethnic Ukrainians in the strict sense, the Ukrainian ethnic community in Serbia also includes the pro-Ukrainian part of the Rusyns, who declare themselves as Rusyns-Ukrainians, and who are gathered around the Alliance of Rusyns-Ukrainians of Serbia. Those Rusyn-Ukrainians, considered to be the Rusyn branch of the Ukrainian people, should not be confused with the ethnic Rusyns, who identify themselves with a separate Rusyn ethnicity.
