===Municipalities===
Skopje was first divided into administrative units in 1945, but the first municipalities were created in 1976. They were five: [[Centar Municipality (Skopje)|Centar]], [[Čair municipality|Čair]], [[Karpoš municipality|Karpoš]], [[Gazi Baba municipality|Gazi Baba]] and [[Kisela Voda municipality|Kisela Voda]]. After the 1991 independence of the country, power was centralized and municipalities lost much of their competences. A 1996 law restored them and created two new municipalities: [[Ǵorče Petrov municipality|Ǵorče Petrov]] and [[Šuto Orizari municipality|Šuto Orizari]]. After the [[2001 insurgency in Macedonia|insurgency between Albanian rebels and Macedonian forces]] in 2001, a new law was enacted in 2004 to incorporate [[Saraj Municipality]] into the City of Skopje. Saraj is mostly populated by Albanians and, since then, Albanians represent more than 20% of the city population. Thus Albanian became the second official language of the city administration, something which was one of the claims of the Albanian rebels. The same year, [[Aerodrom Municipality (Skopje)|Aerodrom Municipality]] separated itself from Kisela Voda, and [[Butel Municipality]] from Čair.<ref name="local"/>

Municipalities are administered by a council of 23 members elected every four years. They also have a mayor and several departments (education, culture, finances...). The mayor primarily deals with these departments.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.opstinacentar.gov.mk/administracija.aspx |title=Administration |publisher=Centar Municipality |access-date=15 March 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110307064559/http://www.opstinacentar.gov.mk/administracija.aspx |archive-date=7 March 2011}}</ref>
