Q: In what language are the data and documentation provided?

The dataset features a mix of languages to assist international users:
· Place Names (City, Street, Settlement): These are provided in Serbian (Latin Script) (e.g., "NOVI SAD", "VLADIMIRA ROLOVIĆA").
· Descriptions: The street_number column uses English text to describe the specific range (e.g., "whole street", "part of the even side").

Q: What is the difference between 'pak' and 'postal_region'?

Serbia is transitioning between postal standards, and this dataset provides both:
· PAK (Poštanski Adresni Kod): Found in the pak column, this is the 6-digit numeric code. It is the modern, high-precision standard that uniquely identifies a specific street segment or building. You should prioritize this for the most accurate routing.
· Postal Region: Found in the postal_region column, this contains the legacy 5-digit code combined with the post office name (e.g., "21241 KAĆ"). This refers to the serving post office branch rather than the specific street.

Q: How do I interpret the 'street_number' column?

Unlike datasets that use simple "From" and "To" columns, this field contains a textual rule defining coverage.
Common values include:
· whole street: The postal code (PAK) applies to every house on the street.
· part of the even side (2 - 24/Š): The code applies only to even numbers within that specific range.
· odd side: Applies to all odd numbers.

Q: What is the administrative hierarchy in the dataset?

The data follows a three-level structure:
· City (Grad/Opština): The main administrative center (e.g., "BEOGRAD", "NOVI SAD").
· Municipality: The borough or sub-municipality (e.g., "NOVI BEOGRAD", "BARAJEVO").
· Settlement (Naselje): The specific town or village (e.g., "BORČA", "KAĆ").

Q: How are special Serbian characters handled?

The dataset includes Serbian Latin characters such as Ć, Č, Ž, Š, Đ. All files are encoded in UTF-8. Please ensure your system uses UTF-8 encoding to prevent names like "Čačak" or "Niš" from appearing as garbled text.

Q: What file formats are included in the delivery?

The package includes CSV, Excel (.xlsx), and TXT formats. Given the detailed text descriptions in the street_number column, the Excel format is often the easiest to read for manual verification.
