What it is Filled
A municipal administrative subdivision in several Slavic countries, including Bulgaria and countries of the former Yugoslavia, serving as a basic unit of local self-government in systems such as those of Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia and Slovenia, with variants such as city municipalities within large cities and the municipalities of Kosovo, whose status follows the contested status of Kosovo; the registry also lists the jamoat of Tajikistan, a different local unit that appears misfiled.
