History
editIn 2009, the National Assembly adopted a law in which Serbia was divided into seven statistical regions.[5] According to the law, territory of present-day Šumadija and Western Serbia was divided into two statistical regions – Western Region (Serbian: Западни регион, romanized: Zapadni region) and Central Region (Serbian: Централни регион, romanized: Centralni region).
However, in 2010, the law was modified and Western and Central regions were merged into a single statistical region named Šumadija and Western Serbia.[citation needed]
