Note 1: in Serbian, word for lake (jezero) is almost always official part of the lake's name. If the name is given as a noun, jezero precedes it (Jezero Gazivode), if the name is given as an adjective (usually with the -ko suffix), jezero comes after (Vlasinsko jezero).

Note 2: lakes Đerdap and Đerdap II are shared by Romania, Fierza by Albania and Perućac and Zvornik by Bosnia and Herzegovina.
