Roma are the third largest ethnic group in Serbia, numbering 147,604 (2.1%) according to the 2011 census. However, the official number is likely underestimated, as many Roma do not identify as such in censuses for fear of discrimination. Estimates that correct for undercounting suggest that Serbia is one of countries with the most significant populations of Roma people in Europe at 450,000-600,000 or 8.23% of population.
