See also: Politics of Novi Sad

Since 2002, when the new statute of the city of Novi Sad came into effect, Novi Sad is divided into two city municipalities, Petrovaradin and Novi Sad. From 1989 until 2002, the name Municipality of Novi Sad meant the whole territory of the present-day city of Novi Sad.

Today, municipality doesn't have its own offices. The city municipalities of Novi Sad were established in 2002 because of the sole reason that Novi Sad can get the city status under then-standing law. Under the new Constitution of Serbia (from November 2006), the city doesn't have to be divided into municipalities to get the city status. By the city statute from 2002, the city municipalities of Novi Sad and Petrovaradin do not have any real authority on their territory. Novi Sad's city government runs the whole city.
