The demographic projections of the future population of Serbia predict that in 2030, the population of Serbia would be composed of 7,200,000 Albanians and 6,300,000 Serbs. The projections are based on the fact that ethnic Albanian population in Serbia increase double every twenty years (for example 646,000 Albanians in 1961, 1,226,000 Albanians in 1981), while ethnic Serb population rest on a number of approximately 6,000,000 (for example 6,016,000 Serbs in 1971, 6,352,000 Serbs in 2002). The slight increase of the Serb population is rather result of immigration from Bosnia and Croatia than of the natural growth.
