Addresses are formatted in this way:

   Name 
   {thoroughfare type[ ]}Thoroughfare name[ ]number{[ ]sub-building information} 
   {Destination settlement} 
   postal code[ ]POSTAL TOWN 
   Postal Address Code 

For example:

The postal address code (PAK) is not used in post office box, poste restante or military addresses.

If the address is in a different locality to that containing the delivery post office, the name of that locality is written on the line above the postal code/city name, as shown in the example above. If the locality does not contain street names an empty line is left below the recipient name. Military addresses contain Vojna pošta followed by a number instead of a street address line.

For information pertaining to the position of the thoroughfare type in an address, please refer to the chapter on Croatia.

   A table containing information about the relevant position of elements within address blocks can be acquired

This is written Poštanski Fah, abbreviated to PF; or Poštanski Pregradak, abbreviated to PP .

The postal codes consist of a block of 5 digits. The code is the same as that used before Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Hercegovina, Macedonia and Montenegro left the federation. Serbian codes begin with 1, 2 or 3.

Serbia had planned to replace this code with a new, 6-digit, code, but is instead (possibly for a transition period) using both within the address block. Each 6-digit code, called Postal Address Code (Poštanski adresni kod, PAK) covers a small group of buildings or a single company. The first two digits cover a region of one or several municipalities, the next two digits define the delivery zone. The final two indicate the street, part of street, building or company. This code is written on its own at the bottom of the address block.

   Metadata containing postal code formatting rules, exceptions and regular expressions can be acquired
