The Statistical Office was established in 1862 when Prince Mihailo Obrenovic passed an act granting powers to the economic department of the Ministry of Finance concerning all statistical work. This was the beginning of state statistics in Serbia, but historic data suggest there was even earlier collecting of statistical data on tax payers. Since 1824 cattle has been included in statistical surveys as well. Since 1834, regular censuses have been carried out every five years. Since 1843, statistical data on external trade, domestic turnover, prices and wages have been compiled.
Statistical work was done even before the foundation of the national Statistical Office. There were international congresses of statisticians held in the Hague in 1859, in Berlin in 1863 and Florence in 1867, and they were attended by Serbian statisticians as well.
In 1881 the Law on the Organization of Statistics was enacted. In 1882, the Ministry of National Economy assumed responsibility regarding national statistics.
