Besides major cities (Belgrade, Novi Sad, Subotica, Nis, Podgorica) which host the majority of NGOs, new ones have appeared in Vrsac, Kikinda, Pancevo, Cacak, Kraljevo, Valjevo, Uzice, Kragujevac, Knjazevac, Leskovac, Bor, Novi Pazar, Pirot and Smederevo. The main strongholds for the development of the sector are the cities in which the opposition assumed power after the local elections 1997 (i.e. 33 cities with about 3,100,000 inhabitants or half of the entire electorate of Serbia).
